I have several CAD and drawing programs that can all create vary degrees of DXF
files, some better than others. Let me know what formats you can produce it

Many, many thanks to everyone who rallied to my distress call about
exporting DXF from Adobe Illustrator, the salient conclusion being that
if I upgrade from version 8.0 to version 9.0 it will do the trick.
To be certain that this was the case for both PC and Mac versions on 9.0
