JORDAN ECKERLING Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi. I'm working on Vectorworks 2011. I imported a pdf as a base plan layer and that was okay, but something has changed and now all I see is a gray block and whatever I import is also a gray block (with an X across). I also tried jpgs with the same result. I'm sure it's a simple setting that needs adjusting, but it's making me crazy. Can anyone help please? Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Reason A: You have the Layer the PDF is on set to 'Grayed'. Reason B: You either have your Layer Options or your Class Options set to Gray Others or Gray/Snap Others. Changing the visibility options will fix it. Quote Link to comment
monkey Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 it may actually be the size of the image/pdf, this happens when you try to import a large file size image, or one that exceeds the pixel size allowed by VWs. i always try to reduce the file size of my images before i use them in VWs.
