Any of your high-end guys have experience with Unigraphics? I need to send drawings to a company that uses that package and is unfamiliar with Rhino.

It's a long while since I've used UG, but you can export a drawing as a dxf file and if it's actually a model your trying to export, I'd use iges.

IGES is the standard for interchange. On rare occasions I've had odd CAD software that wouldn't accept standard IGES files and I've gotten STEP or Parasolid files to open up. MasterCAM used to have issues with Rhino files, and also some IGES files, so for some old versions of that STEP is a good first shot after IGES.
