Well, I have received a lot of support here. Thank you all. It looks like there is a 'to do' in LO Draw to output to at least one of the two AutoCad formats, as this is what most print shops will support. After all concerns are tested and satisfied, I'll drop a note with the results to get the word out.

Again thanks,
John

1) What is the standard file format (description and file type) for professional drafting?

2) Does LO Draw support this format?

3)  If not, is there a work around?

4) Can I print multiple parts of the drawing onto 8.5" x 11.0" paper, then tape them together for a preliminary draft? (I know I can do the taping part, its the printing that is an issue :) )?

5)  And , finally, Does the PDF format fit into this issue at all?

tia,

John
