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?
