Seena Hassouna Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'm working on a graphic design project. It's a 2-D section of a house. I'd like to make one color version. Ideally I'd like to use Pantone colors to make sure the color prints correctly. Is it possible to import or does VWA11 already have the pantone libraries in it? Thanks, Seena PS. I do have illustrator 10 if anyone knows of a way to export the pantone libs. from there? Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Seena, You'll have better luck exporting your VW file as PDf and then opening the PDF in Illustrator. Once in Illustrator you can map the PDF RGB colors to specific Pantone/CMYK colors. VW just isn't intended to function at the true graphic-arts level. See: http://techboard.nemetschek.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=001392 Good luck, [ 02-17-2005, 02:50 AM: Message edited by: Travis ] Quote Link to comment
Seena Hassouna Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thanks Travis, Wow, that was a major discussion. Thanks for the link. Do you ever have trouble exporting the lineweights with the PDF? Thanks, Seena Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Not when I use Acrobat Distiller (rather than the MacOS built-in pdf generator). But this may be partly because our line-weight protocol is for a fairly large size differential (1, 4, 10, 15, 20). I like subtle line-weight differentiation on screen and from our own printers, but small differences don't seem to hold up to multiple copying or PDF creation as well.
