Hi Rick,

Unfortunately, there's no facility to import offsets. The formats are so vastly different that conversion would be a science project in itself. Also, the internal representation of the curves does not allow you to generate any arbritrary kayak shape. You'll need to use some other tool to plot your Guillemot forms.

: I have played around a bit with the program it seems very nice. I love the

: guillemot over the winter and am just looking for an easy way to draw up
: the forms from the book. (Yes I own the book, for lurkers...)
