Indeed.
I have and use DWorksXL and do sometimes use it, the SVG output is okay,
but I find trying the PDF output mostly crashes DWorks.

Yes I do have Ghostscript installed as it's used by Steve's PrintPDF which
will obviously print out of Draw to PDF.

This thread is most positively a Horses for courses business.

Do you want the Graphic to end up on the Win side as just a graphic image 
(Bitmap), or do you want it to arrive as a Vector that's still editable?

It's a dilemma that most of us multi OS users face, and having moved much 
of my graphics work to the Win side years ago... I've not yet found a one
solution that fits all requirements.
