That sounds useful.
Unfortunately the version I have doesn't manage that - maybe it's
because it is 7.11, dated 2000.
Writer on the Iyonix can't handle it either.
Maybe I need an upgrade...
Is the resulting draw file vector graphics? I've been caught out by
other software exporting in what should be a vector format, but
actually producing an embedded bitmap.
