Hi Villengineer, The export DXF tool of Punch Pro works with a difference of 20%. You can read this message http://isuzu23.webcrossing.com/WebX?230@@.fa6f2f6 My suggestion is: upgrade to Punch AS 18 or AS 3000, the DXF export tool works fine and they also have DXF import tool. Punch doesn't work with fractional dimensions. However, notice that Punch is not a CAD program, but a home design program. Their concepts are different Hope this helps Patricia

The dxf wasn't at a difference of 20%. I found it to be about 4.993501%. That's just plain ridiculous. If a program states it can export dxf it should be able to do it correctly. I'm a mechanical engineer and have used all sorts of different drawing programs, from the relatively cheap and simple to the very expensive and complex, and never had one not export dxf correctly. By the way some of that info in the link about AutoCad is wrong. I've used every version on AutoCad since 10 and .dwg has always been the native format. Dxf is simply an industry accepted fomat to transfer the data between different programs. I purchased Pro b/c it is portrayed as a drawing program that has been tailored/simplified for use specifically in the design of home. Having all the archtitectural symbols available was a big selling point. Plus they at least give the impression that you can create prints with it. They should plainly state in their info that in fact can't. Not being able to display fractional dimensions boggles my mind. That's not even a difficult programing function since the ability to work in units less than 1" is already built in. Not to mention that their "standard" interior wall thicknesses aren't even correct. I can't find anything from Punch that states that AS18 or AS3000 are actually any more capable at producing usable prints. Besides, I already have 2/3 or it redrawn in AutoCad. Not to mention for that kind of money, if I didn't already have AutoCad, I could get ahold of a seat of IntelliCad which even uses dwg. I just hope they will stand behing their 90 day guarantee because there's a big difference between what they at least imply this program can do and what it actually will. Don't get me wrong there are some "neat" things about the 3D stuff, but I viewed that stuff as just icing on the cake not a reason to buy the program.
