My understanding is that the bsw code has been made deprecated, but it seems that there is an export feature. I don't know exactly what it will do and I don't know exactly what you are hoping to do, so I don't know how to answer your question. I'd guess that if you ask, it will be worked on if it can be done. ;-) Adam On Jul 11, 2011, at 2:04 PM, Alan Post wrote: > I don't see a way, in signpuddle 1.6, to extract the sign from > SignPuddle.
