Tried opening in iDraw and its just blank. then tried to export as new version DXF, but imports blank into Inkscape... then tried to export as EPS which seems to work in iDraw but the shape dimensions are off... (51.163 mm!) Can anyone shed any light on this? Am I missing something? TIA!

AI 8 and earlier file formats are based on eps whereas 9 and above use a variation of pdf. I've never tested DXF with Inkscape. To test DXF, I test with AutoCAD. We default to DXF 12, Inscape might be version specific, not sure. Tim
