Thanks Ray! I couldn't find the answer in an hour, but you nailed it.

I imported a DWG file yesterday. VW 11 asked me if I wanted to substitute a standard font type for the one referenced in the DWG file. I accepted the default, because it might work. Now that I can see the file, I know that I have received a title block. The substituted font extends beyond the limits of the title block, so it looks ugly! I deleted the new VW file and retried the import. This time, I am going to pick a different font. BUT I am not offered the chance to choose a different font! VW seems to have made a record of my choice, and I nolonger get a chance to change it. How can I override this so I can substitute a better font?

Donald and Andy-- Good advice! I don't have photoshop, but I have GraphicConverter. I allowed me to open a PDF with a specified resolution. I assume that is what's missing in Vectorworks. Converting the entire image to 1200 DPI gave excellent resolution, but there is plenty of time coffee while the computer works on it! (600 DPI was still jagged.) I will probably select the portions of the image I need either use Andy's method or produce a pdf of that area. Thanks! --Bill

I am trying to import an E size pdf under OS X 10.3 with the VW Architect beta. It always shows the size of the image to be 612x792 regardless of actual size (letter or E size), but the E size imports are all blurry. I can zoom into the PDFs just fine in Acrobat Reader or in Preview, it's just that VW seems to map it all to a lower resolution. Anybody have any ideas? --Bill

I can confirm that the file paths are different on OS X and 9.1, due to the Unix kernel beneath. I dealt with a similar networking issue under older MacOS systems. It was not a Vectorworks-specific problem. Apple's recommendation was to run the same OS and networking software on all systems on the network. I was having protocol problems due to different versions of Open Transport. Good Luck!
