300DPI is standard for print, however as pointed out definitely get that logo as a vector, you may want to re-use it elsewhere in the future so it's best to have it scaleable, and if you are paying for it then certainly it's standard to get it in that format. There is a very quick trick in Photoshop to convert raster graphics to vector so it should only take him a few mins if he did not originally draw it in Illustrator or as a Vector elsewhere.

no Cat, not even a dawg anymore!

They are an offering to the satanic death cult that is FIFA.

I Knew it was hiding somewhere! Thanks for that!

Thanks Jim, I got FileZilla and am able to get in to my site that way, so no issues with the FTP account, but that's no use to me, I need to be able to get in using my WYSISYG editor.

Anyone know of any place I can get paid support for my problem?

driven , thanks for clarifying that.... click the options button in the import drop down window... a definite d'oh moment for me !

Pres, I always resize them, usually to 2000 pix wide, I do this to get rid of the jaggies.

But I'll play around with your suggestions about the line weight! I've never messed around with the depth cue before so I'll give that a try too. Thanks for that advice!

Wow Joe, they are stunning mate!!!!

You're a good guy Dave, for all the help you give,

thanks again!

Do you think he is being truthful or not?

By showing your version of the picture we respond to your vision of the story. Does his version hold any ground?

Doing what Baz said could either ruin his carreer from the start if he is starting.

This kind of delays are typical from someone starting on his line of business, or typical of someone trying to con you.

They could also be related to many other things...

What do you think it's happening?

Going social will probably cause great havok to him, but it could also turn against yourself.

Could you show up at his place of work and try seeing his work?

If so, I would do what Paul Russam suggests, as I believe your entitled to, but I would also try solving this face to face, giving him one last chance for redemption.

But I know nothing more...

I tried that same beam connection skp and got 56k too, so my other elevation file must have more 'data' on it.

On my old computer I had Corel Draw and I would mainly use it to create full sized pdf templates of various parts of my structures. I'd export dxf, bring them into Corel, and then 'Publish' them to pdf. You can take that pdf to a printer and get a full sized template printed.

I need a similar program on my new computer, so what should I get, Adobe Illustrator, stick with Corel, or something else?? I don't know graphics very well.

If you prefer to stick to your previous workflow, have a look at Inkscape. It's open source, you can import dxf files. Install a pdf printer and you're done.

Of course, you would be missing all the benefits of having a real-time link between a sketchup model and Layout. So if you want to improve your workflow you might be better off investing time in Layout.

I think you folks have resolved this issue .. what a crew! I've never just dbl clicked in open space, I've always anchored it and hidden the leader, and no, didn't select Hidden I don't think,

thanks for the help with this Major problem!

Perhaps you did get the axes moved slightly by mistake. If you want, send me the file and I'll have a look.

Maybe the problem is I was exporting a 2d image? I tried Export> 3d Model> dwg, no splat, but a terrible image, looks like a wireframe and the text is messed up.

Geeze why does this have to be so complicated? I'm lost,

does it hurt to just leave it all as is, with wrong file paths? As long as I can draw and export images it's OK with me.

The trial might have export limitations for sure, but I cant see why. There is usually a printer set up dialogue box! Or it could be using the native built in PDF printer on your system and you haven't set this!

BTW Layout is VERY easy!

Click on the file folder icon to the right and choose the desired location for the file.
