Hi everyone, thankyou for your responses

Sorry for not replying so promptly to your responses as I have been busy at University. The parametric dimensions is currently in my developers branch, hoping to get this released into our project development branch by Summer.

We've been discussing about export within our community, we are still unsure about dwg support (we have someone experimenting with LibTeigha) but that doesn't seem appropriate in the long run...

DXF in ascii will most likely be the main export format. Does anyone have a rough idea how ready Rallaz's DXF library is?

If Rallaz is successful in achieving dwg support in his library that would be really helpful - assuming the library is LGPL? It would be obviously great if this were used too as it would improve the user base for both projects.

Are both libraries able to run independent of librecad - I noticed a few Qt depenendies (not a problem for us)?

Many Thanks
Luke
