Getting CAD files (often .DWG or DXF) into publishing software can be easy or very hard - it all depends on the job and I have never found an easy way that works every time (I have had to deal with this a few times).
I get the CAD folk to export out as AI or EPS if they can or get them to print with a PostScript printer driver to file. Acrobat is often very good at translating the .ps or .prn file into a PDF before going to Illus or Photoshop or whatever the task is. Hope this helps, Stephen Marsh. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
