Jo,
I import drawing files from engineering and I don't have the problem you
are describing; however, I don't know if my process will solve your
problem. They typically deliver the files in DWG format. I open them
with Illustrator and save them as EPS files. I then import them into
Frame and I generate PDFs from the Frame files. Sometimes they give me
the drawings in PDF format and I can import them into Frame directly;
however, I notice that Frame slows down considerably when I import the
PDF vs importing the EPS.
Thanks,
Jess

Framers, I know this is way off topic - but knowing how much knowledge
there is on here, I'm hoping somebody can point me to a good resource or
forum to help.
I'm trying to get vector images from Solidworks e-drawings into
FrameMaker and then to PDF. However in the resulting PDF, the vectors
draw so slowly on the page that it is causing problems for our readers.
The path we are taking is:
Print from e-drawings to .ps file
Open .ps file in CorelDraw and save as .eps (or .wmf or .pdf - the end
result is the same)
Import .eps into Frame and then make PDF as normal
I think the source of the problem is the original .ps files, because
they are so complex (some images have 38,000+ objects in them).
If anybody knows how I can achieve better results, or can direct me to a
more appropriate forum or user group, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Jo Watkiss
