I just have to take a moment and agree that, while this may be considered old, it is still a very good thread for reference to the conversion problem. I am glad others are finding good means to accomplish the conversion, and new methods are certainly welcome.

The scaling issue is a fine question. I am wondering if this is a function of the target program. There are two sides to scaling. One is often viewed as a zoom issue, and the other has to do with a change in the relationship between the axes.

I cannot imagine that the axes relationship should ever change in any conversion process, else the process would be considered flawed. Am I wrong about that?
