Dear Development Team,

I am a developer from the FreeCAD project working on a new Drawing Module (2D projections from 3D models). Admittedly, I am not a user of 2D CAD and it has never been part of my education so please pardon my ignorance. My topic of discussion is transferring drawings between applications. I am looking to create a more friendly exporter between our applications, since I have developed more sophisticated features, in particular parametric dimensioning.

Firstly, do you have a preferred native file import. If yes, do you have a specification available for transferring information to native Librecad format? - I cannot find one readily available.  Perhaps there is a relevant discussion posted before that may be able to suggest.

I hope that you can help, because I believe that projects like ourselves should be complimentary and promote each other.

Many Thanks
Luke Parry
