Hello, is anybody really familiar with dxf files for layouts?

Thanks,
Jim

I did a google search several months ago and found several files that detail the format of a DXF file. I did it on another computer, and I'm sitting in a hotel at the moment, but you should be able to did it up.

.dxf files can be imported into Corel Draw and then exported as .png files....don't know if that helps or not.

you might want to check out a program called carvepic...can't remember if it will import dfx or not...but remember something about it.

John,
I forgot about that program, I actually have it downloaded and was trying it out for another project.

Thanks,

Carvepic will take dxf files I believe. It's been several months since I played with it.
