#AutoCAD/Shade->PageMaker
1 messages in this thread
I'm working with AutoCAD (DOS) and PageMaker (Mac) and need a little help.
AutoCAD can create a postscript plot file which can be placed in PageMaker
and printed out on our LaserWriter IINT just fine. However AutoShade,
Autodesks's rendering program, creates a postscript rendering file, and
when placed in PageMaker and then output to the laser printer, doesn't
work.
The AutoCAD post script file starts like:
%!PS-Adobe-1.0
% File produced by AutoCAD
/m {moveto} def
/l {lineto} def
/s {stroke} def
/n {newpath} def
2 setlinejoin
20 20 translate
0.240000 0.240000 scale
3.000000 setlinewidth
n
1047 865 m
1037 890 l
409 890 l
419 865 l
and so on…
The AutoShade post script file starts like:
%!PS-Adobe-1.0
%%Creator: AutoShade by Autodesk, Inc.
%%Pages: 1
/m {newpath moveto} def
/l {lineto} def
/s {setrgbcolor fill} def
/f {fill} def
/g {dup dup setrgbcolor fill} def
/v 0.24000 def
/vn v neg def
/p {/ly exch def /lx exch def newpath lx ly moveto v 0 rlineto 0 vn
rlineto vn 0 rlineto} def
/q {/ly exch def /lx exch def newpath lx ly moveto v 0 rlineto 0 vn
rlineto vn 0 rlineto fill} def
/d {lx ly v add moveto currentpoint q} def
225.12 357.36 m
575.76 1248.0002 l
575.76 1202.88 l
and so on…
Could you tell me why one works and the other doesn't. Is there something I
can modify in the AutoShade ps file to get it to work?
