When I opened Stardraw 7 today, there was an update available. I updated and restarted. After starting a new drawing, I tried to export it to AutoCAD but got an error with the following details...

Any help would be appreciated as I need to bring my drawings into AutoCAD for incorporation into a larger drawing set.

The following details will be sent to Stardraw.com Ltd:

Dave,

Could you email your Stardraw Design 7 Project (.s07 file) to techsupport so that we can try and reproduce the problem.

We can then diagnose the problem and hopefully provide you with a fix very quicky.

We suspect it is a particular Polyline in a drawing that is filled with an unusual Brush.
