RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Stiffener question

Perhaps non-microsoft users might have trouble (I'm not sure). If any linux
or Mac users have a suggested file format that is universal, please speak up
and I'll be happy to use that instead. Else, I'll go with WMF as a default.
Diagrams could enrich the content of this list quite significantly.

I also can open the WMF file. 

Also I am able to convert may CAD files to the DXF transfer files 
and than to my Picture Publisher Programm and save them as WMF files. 

Maybe we sholud use the WMF Format in general - the CAD guys can
exchange 
later direct way the bigger files.
