Illustrator CS4 AutoCAD lines are different colors for different weight strokes. Is there an Ai plugin that, when you open a DWG file, it will interpret the correct line weight according to it's stroke color? I have searched google, and trolled through different sites with no luck. thanks

I am doing some CAD drafting, and would like to be able to draft in 1/8 scale. However, I cannot change the grid to .125 inches. I can do .12 or .13, but these throw off the scale of the architectural drawing. I know Hotdoor's CADtools has their own grid setup, but frankly, it's horrendous...

Using Illustrator CS4, Grids on. I'm doing some drafting work, with the grids set at .38" with 12 subdivisions, making it approx 3/8 scale It used to be that when I arrowed over, it would move the segment or point 1 segment. Now it moves 2. I'm not sure if there's a setting in the...

I'm working for an architect, and I've been doing some architectural drafting of elevations. Door & Window schedules, lighting/electrical elevations, etc... I'll soon need to start on some plumbing elevations. However, one thing that another fellow using AutoCAD can do, that I can't, is...

I am creating some architectural draft elevations (window and door elevations, cabinet elevations, etc). In order to save time, I created most of them using rectangles, and for the most part, it works fine. However, I have come across a few mistakes in judgement. 1) there's no way (to my...

This is related to the Spreads thread I just posted. What I hope to do is have a Master Portfolio file which I can print off different iterations of the file. For example: Say I have a book with 40 chapters. One book would have chapters 1-5, 7-9, 20, 25-37, and 40. Book 2 would have chapters...

Is there a way to change the document so that I can see the first spread as "Front Cover - Inside Cover" instead of facing pages? The reason for this is that it wil be easier putting together my portfolio as each page (front and back) is devoted to one church. Pictures one one page, the floor...

I'm certain most of you know this, or know of another way, but I figured I'd attempt to give back some things that i have learned or found out. I had a problem arise that I had to seach the net for the answer. What I found was a great tip which I'll share here. When creating a bulleted list...

I am creating another booklet. This time it will be very little text, only city/state and church name. It will be an architects portfolio. As you can surmise, I will be adding MANY pics, and do not relish the thought of incessantly clicking File-Place, or cramping my fingers with repetitions...

I am using Adobe CS4 InDesign. I am a brand new user, and have previously been used to Publisher 2007. This is a huge step for me. I am creating a 40-page booklet to be printed 2-up saddle-stitch. I am using legal-size paper, folded in half. 4 pages to each legal sheet. So 4-pages each in...
