Scott Erstad Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Hi Guys, Thanks for the excellent tut. dl you know of any way to get CAd to illustrator or Freehand? Between myself, and a couple of other guys, we have not been able to acheive this, other than this convoluted technique: 1. Clean up CAD and W Block out for import to Viz 2. extrude the imported Block(be sure to clean cleaned up a bit mind you - no hatch, etc.)a small amount. 4. Render TOP (or side) view with Illustrate with .ai output designated. This has proven somewhat unreliable for anything beyond the most simplisting lineart. There has got to be a simpler way!!

kunstraum.tv Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 in the past i often used eps, but now i work completely different. the best, easiest and fastest way is to "plot" your drawings in a pdf-file. the "pdf-virtual-plotter" reacts as a normal plotter concerning the plot settings etc. after that you can easily open the file in photoshop and dsign your drawings. for me it works great !!

John Dollus Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 You can write an eps directly out of AutoCad for Illustrator import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, we had a number of cad drawings (elevations, sections, floor plans, etc) that we wanted to inlcude in our new publication, and I had a hell of a time plotting them to a pdf file....for some reason, all the lines came out very faint in photoshop and I had to go in and tweak them (which wasn't a huge deal, but at about 80 figures, it took a while just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
