Hi Steve,
Flavio is right - attempts to export a layout to CAD are probably doomed to
failure. I wouldn't bother with printing to a postscript file then importing
this to a CAD package, either!
To partly address this problem, we have had to resort to Mapbasic to export
the contents of a layout's parent mapper window (ie the layers in it,
clipped to the extent of the window), which might be the way forward. Or
not.
