Download in Final Draft format

It would be great if we could download into a Final Draft format. It would be great to be able to use all of final draft's features, but have the collaborative potential of plotbot.

I would like to be able to write the entire screen play in plotbot so that all my co-writers can work together, download it into Final Draft, put some finishing touches and register it.

Does't FD 6 and above already have a collaborative feature? Also, you could export a formated txt and upload the project into Final Draft. I used to do that with word documents, and I know its possible with Cetx.

You should be able to directly import the RTF export into Final Draft--I've done that several times. You'll see "RTF" as a download option.

It has a few bugs when it is done that way. Final draft recognizes patterns in text not just format. If you character screams "RUN!!!" it will place it as a slug line as apposed to dialog. There were a few more bugs i found but i can't recall them off hand.
