Googling I saw that openoffice can import .dxf files.  I am using

Do I need a plugin?  If so, where is it?

Thanks for pointing out the dxf option - I hadn't been aware of it.

I can open dxf files alright in OOo 2, which is great, but I wonder whether one can actually *do* anything with them apart from displaying them?

For example, searching for text contained in a dxf file (understandably) doesn't work) - am I right in assuming that displaying the file is the only option?
