http://www.schaeffer-ag.de - the original author of the software,
sells .dxf export filter for the product. (In this same group we had
discussion about it in the May and the price was 90e) - Is it only for
viewing designs in other cad programs?
I can see "Front Panel Express, LLC" licence agreement saying:
"1.5 User is allowed to use the data generated with the software in
two ways: 1) he may store them as documents or 2) he may send them to
the manufacturer to deal with the data in the context of certain other
contracts."
I'd deal directly with Schaeffer and what restrictions apply to the
export filter usage.
You might be getting, What I call, "excellent cad software made just
for this work" for ~$125. (Do Your macroelements (learn object group
alignments, rotation), then just copy-paste-move, re-enter text ect.)
