Jay,

One of the recently added features was the ability to export forms. Instead of a table of offsets, each form is exported as a series of coordinates that describe the curve (either half form or full form). The Export Forms dialog is very similar to Print Forms, so it should look familiar. If you have any questions about it, let me know.

: Dear Ross,

: I have been playing around with the beta version while I complete my first
: boat. I was wondering if v.1.0 has the ability to print a table of
: offsets. While trying out the beta I was interested in comparing my design
: to other proven designs to see how the numbers differed.

: One nice thing I was experimenting with was the scale down function for
: printing. I was toying with taking one of my designs, printing the forms
: at 1/4 scale cutting them out and mounting them on cardboard and on a
: mini-strongback to see how it looked 3 dimentionally.

: Anyway, thanks for the effort and contribution to the group.

: My next boat will be of my own design thanks to your program.

: Jay
