No worries! Thanks, as always.

Ha, ha. Experimented, yes; but not experienced.

Thank you. I will give it a try if I use the program again.

<t>Thank you for your response. Appreciate your sentiments.<br/>

As to 'wall', that was not in my definition. While an exterior wall can just be called a wall, an interior one is always a partition.<br/>

No, actually it is very misleading in what it does, and I'll bet you that many people use it to design floor plans. After all ...

I notice that, because there is no snap-to-lines or -grid feature available, the walls (for instance) do not align correctly with the grid layout. They often overlap for some reason.<br ...

<t>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.<br/>
