yes, but Thomas, the reason for using Illustrator is that you can do a very accurate 2d drawing of components and you can move points in 2d space numerically in relation to each other. Also very quickly. So to do a basic template and export in Illustrator3 is simply a few minutes work. The one big issue I had with Amapi was that there is no easy way to reference a point - and to move it in space relative to the object/world centre, so it's much easier to draw all your 2d's in Illustrator and then combine in Amapi. Are you telling me I've been doing it wrong all this while?
