I like the tabs. They would be just as useful if in a toolbar section. They will cause less clutter there than as a separate PageManager window... I thought the point was to reduce the number of windows you have open. I suppose you could make it user selectable but that would add complexity.

I don't think that is cluttered at all. I typically end up with multiple gschem windows open any way, this is less cluttered. I just have one question how do you open and close the tabs. Is it like firefox (right click). -- http://www.coe.neu.edu/~efoss/ http://evanfoss.googlepages.com/ ___

Have you looked at brl-cad or qcad. BRL-Cad is nice but I don't know what state the DXF output is in. It is however free so it can't hurt to try. QCad has DXF but I have had issues with it in the past. You might want to check with some of the Linux-CNC people. ___
