I've been slow to acknowledge some great ideas and suggestions. Thanks everybody. Currently grappling with the transition from FM6 on XP to FM9 on Win 7. No doubt there will be more questions to follow... :)

Open Acrobat 8 Pro 3D or 9 Pro Ext. 2. Open the drawing with e-drawings, move it in the position you like it. 3. Push PRTSC and the graphic from e-drawings will save in Acrobat, you can save it as u3d in PDF. 4. Import this in your FrameMaker file. Other way: 1. Open the Solidworks original file with Acrobat 8 Pro 3D Toolkit, Acrobat 9 Pro Ext. 3D Previewer or Take DEEP EXPLORATION from Right Hemisphere. 2. Now you can reduce objects and save it as u3d. 2. Import this in your FrameMaker file. Add-On: If you like to set links in FrameMaker to views and animations in you u3d and to create a 3D PDF, then take SQUIDDS 3D Communication Package (www.squidds.de/en/3dpdf) - Georg ------------------------ 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.
