We do already support "draw" an a report output format.

If we add it as a feature output format you can use featcopy (or seqret 
-feat) to create a cirdna or lindna input file.

We can then work on the feature format to add extra information by 
feature type.

We could also add an application to merge a set of feature inputs so you 
could combine genbank/embl files with restriction map output, then use 
the results as input.

I will see what I can do for the next release.

Thanks for the very helpful suggestions
