Thanks Katie. I hadn't figured out that it was only happening when I had 2 files open. That's a big help.

Win XP Home / VW 10.0.1./ 2.4Mhz processor Sometimes when I change the color of a line in the attributes palette I get a runtime error. I have to choose class "None" and draw line or fill again to avoid crashing. I used to get a runtime error when I opened more than one file. This was fixed by installing the latest NVIDIA driver and reinstalling the program (with update). Has anyone had a similar problems? Any ideas on a fix?

I got it figured out finally! Go to Page Setup. Paper size set to "PS custom page size". Then Properties > Layout > Advanced > paper/output > edit custom paper size. Thanks for your help.

Thanks George. I have Win XP. Following your advice I was able to add a 24x26 size to the paper size options, but as with all the other sizes, the PDF only reproduces a few lines of the drawing. The only option that copies the drawing completely is "postscript custom page size". Does the method you outlined work for you?

Thanks Chris T. Where do I get PDFWriter? In the Acrobat manual it says it is a "custom install option", but I can't find it on the installation CD or Adobe website.

I have VW10 for PC. I want to save 24x36 Arch D sheet to PDF 24x36 sheet. I can't figure out how to change the size for PDF. Page > Set Print Area is set to 24x36.In "Print Setup" the paper size that will work is "Postscript Custom Page Size", but how do I customize the page size? I've tried going to Acrobat Distiller > Properties > Adobe PDF Settings set for "Print" > Edit Conversion Settings > Default page size 24x36, but PDF page size is always 22x17.

I'm thinking of buying an HP 750 Plotter. I have VW on Mac. Can I plot directly from program as I do with my Epson printer, or do I need another driver? Does it work at all w/Mac?

I believe MacPlot will work. It's a bunch of drivers that work with various plotters. Search web for site.

The paste shortcut doesn't work

I'm trying to cut and paste a tool icon. I have Photoshop and have saved a 32x32 pixel PICT file. I don't really understand the "bitmap" stuff. Anyway, I've tried pasting icon in the plug-in properties box but nothing happens. How do I paste icon from Photoshop to VW?
