Bill,
The hardware tech writers at my company use Solidworks creations in their Frame docs. They told me that they don't use the DXF file because they are so large. Our engineers create them for 11 x 17 paper. They always convert the DXF file to a high-res JPEG and then import to Frame and scale it down. So yes, they lose the vector.

Assuming that vector format will produce the best resolution, has anyone had any problems importing DXF images directly into Frame? Or is it better to convert to another format first?
