			=== Data Exchange ===
			Computer Aided Design systems commonly exchange data in the following formats:
			*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DXF AutoCAD DXF]
			*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGES Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES)]
			*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10303 ISO 10303 STandard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP)]

			[http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/BlueprintGeometricAndTechDrawing#Basic "Intersection of two line"] can be used as a workaround.
