I've used the v2 labeling engine to place some nice looking road labels. Now I'd like to export those labels as a point shapefile for use in another program. Is there any way to accomplish this?

what is the other program – Nathan W May 3 '12 at 12:47
The other program is OCAD. – Ríbean May 3 '12 at 15:06

I ask because QGIS doesn't seem to treat the labels as any kind of selectable objects. Or at least I don't know how to select them. OCAD doesn't have the ability to smart-label objects the way that QGIS does & if this can be done, it would save a lot of time. – Ríbean May 3 '12 at 15:09
