[Printing Bitmaps]

Hi Katie,

I am using VW 9 on PC and we are printing on a 4500HP Color Laserjet. (on a network) and I have a Deskjet 1120C connected directly to my PC.

[Import DWG solids]

Importing dwg files has been improved in VW9, but I still have some problems: extruded objects / solids wich are made in AutoCad can not be imported in VW unless you explode them first. (with loss of data)Or am I doing something wrong?

[Text - backgroundcolor]

How come, that once a backgroundcolor for polylines or rectangle is used, also text (written afterwards) gets automatically backgroundcolor? Is there a way to disable this? I have tried to set the defaults on -no color- but everytime I write new text.... there it is again! I am using VW 9 on PC.

[Printing Bitmaps]

When I try to print drawings containing Bitmaps (bmp, jpeg, png etc.) the Bitmaps are printed mirrorwise / upside down. Is there a way to prevent and arrange this?

[File previews]

I don't know if anybody has suggested this before, but it would be nice to have a preview while searching for files. Most of the time it's a hell of a job to find back my files, because I make a lot of small drawings wich are arranged by initials and date so I can't really see what the file is about.

I have worked several years with AutoCad and I now realise that was a great advantage!

Perhaps it is possible to write a script to make automatically a small bitmap of every saved file?
