Great, thanks.  That answers my question and I'll have a peek.

I see what you mean, it would be a good feature if it isn't already.  But
that's okay for me right now.

FYI What I'm aiming at is trying to store CAD data and related feature
styles in another format and being able to convert it back into CAD formats
with minimal info loss.  Obviously I'll hit similar issues when trying to
convert back in CAD.
