Buttman Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I am struggling to create a poster with my CAD files. I use PhotoShop for headings, sub-headings, background pics etc. I want to combine my CAD file into photoshop but i am aware about converting into JPEG, ESPs, TGS files from ADT but it's always poor quality!! I want it to be crystal clear. Help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugga_Guy Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 instead of plotting out to a printer - plot a Adobe PDF, open the pdf in photoshop edit it, then re save as a tif file. you can also import an autocad to illustrator then rasterize it in photoshop. Plotting to a PDF is way easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sindala Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 You could alos try installing the free cute pdf writer. It installs like a printer, print to it and open your pdf in photoshop! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msamir Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Sindala when i use cute pdf writer as a printer it plots to a file with extension (.plt) which when i try to open in photoshop it tells me that its an invalid file, i tried and changed its extension but still the same error, any ideas ?

rcase Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 .plt files are plot files commonly created from AutoCAD. They can be viewed in Voloview, but as far as I know they are of know use as far as editing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
