Re: [femm] Nov 10 Release

["Gregory R. Quinting" <gregq@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone:

I use Solid Edge Origin to export AutoCAD DXF files for input to Femme. 
There are options to export DXF versions 10 thru 14. Though I don't 
use AutoCAD itself, presumably it has backwards compatibility to be able 
to export earlier revision levels. Maybe it has an options button, tab 
or some other means to select the export revision level?

Best regards,

Greg
