RiscDRAW offers draw file import/export

RISC OS has used the draw format as a standard for vector files since its inception. It is therefore essential that software on the RISC OS platform can import and export draw files, and RiscCAD Professional Release 10 is no exception.


RiscDRAW allows draw files to be imported and exported from RiscCAD, Draw files created with RiscDRAW are identical to the RiscCAD drawing in every way, including line styles, weights, colour and font style. Likewise, with the exception of filled shapes, CAD drawings created from draw files look identical. RiscDRAW maps the different line styles and weights onto separate RiscCAD drawing layers.

RiscDXF and RiscDRAW, when used together, enable highly accurate Draw to DXF and DXF to Draw conversion.
