John, re: "For structured drawings, if you really think people will be uploading those…", I don't know what you mean by "structured drawings", unless you mean object graphics ("draw" as opposed to "paint"), but given the option I would much rather download a concise object file than a huge bitmap file. The context is the question of exchanging landscape designs, prompted by the "wanna see my etchings?" thread, and within that context there might be a number of forum members who would want to ul/dl. As re AI format, I guess I'll soon have to replace the antique graphics SW I'm using! re GIF/TIFF, since TIFF is for bitmaps, GIF seems to be the frontrunner. BTW, I'm interested to learn what formats are used by the landscaping SW Alison has reviewed for NGM. I doubt if Lotus Freelance recognizes objects of type "Oak" and "Azalea" ;-), but perhaps they can save as bitmaps or line/poly objects.
