NB: The code being talked about is DXF -> PCB outline... not PCB->DXF. It seems that we now have _three_ people who have independently written such a tool. I guess this suggests people are wishing to design boards which fit in a given mechanical envelope, as exported from a mech.-cad package. > > Windell H.
