creating PS vp that will fit a rectangle for ploting a image.

[RAYMOND]

how do you create a ps vp for a random sized retangle for plotting an image.

 

example have a 3dface that encompasses an odd shaped parking lot. and need to produce an image that will fit the 3dface in viz... but can't seem to figure out how you could do this paper space....

 

as of now have to do a screen capture then crop it in photo shop...

of course everytime one does this it is slightly off from the last time..

if it could be set up in paper space.... no worry...

 

also, can't seem to recieve email notifications from replies on this forum???

 

thanks ahead...

Haven't done it in a while and not in 2004, but can't you plot the paperspace to jpg?

 

Have you checked you spam folder for those missing notifications?

you can create a PS viewport using a polygon boundry

for whatever size and shape That you are needing To plot To

also and/or otherwise

 

if you can look for and download CutePDF (free) plot software

for autocad, Then you can plot to scale and Trim as needed in

 

FotoChop

 

just create The boundry before plotting and Trim in FotoChop later

i plot 2d Elevation lines at 300 dpi for a 36x24 sheet

Then import the colored VIZ renderings into the same PDF file

 

well it is a PSD file by Then

and use the PDF plot info as The background to match up the viz output

 

i Think That There is a (Free) ghostwriter component That goes with

The CutePDF writer which will automatically install into autocad plotting

 

we have This at work and i have also done This at home

 

it works

 

There are other PDF writers other Than CutePDF

This is just The one software That i am familiar with

 

go to google

go do google

 

Thanks
