Thank You for your prompt response.

1). You currently have the Shapefile plugin for Esri Data.  If the problems you cited are real, removing a constant from those values would resolve that..... I believe.... Then adding that constant back for reporting purposes....  However I have yet to read of it being a GIS issue...

2.  Seeing that said Shapefile plugin works, I would be willing to chance that the Plugin approach will succeed for working with LibreCad 2, then Port it to LibreCad 3 via Lua.  I'm using Lua 5.1.  Which version will LibreCad 3?

3.  Both existing drawings and new drawings would be the objective.

4.  Modifying entities could be provided for if needed down the road.  Initially I see creating new entities.  That could help speed up development.

As far as usefulness, I sure I would find them useful.  As would others.  Survey Engineering and otherwise.  That is what I'm banking on.  This far I have not been able to monetize my efforts.  Lots of time to reach this point.

Directions on how to precede on your effort through the Plugin technology would help me immediately.

Best regards, and thank you for your time....
