  • Thin lines – AutoCad?

    Posted by Vegard Eidskrem on 9 August 2012 at 07:43

    Hi.

    My plan is to print evacuation signs in spot colors on my gerber.

    The problem:

    The customer is an architect firm, and the files I got from them is in .pdf
    But I think its made in AutoCad, everything is built up of thin lines and small pieces…its a mess and the lines is to thin to print.

    Anyone know what to do?
    It will probably take 2 hours to fix each sign before printing…and its 30 signs

    I think I’d speak to the architect firm first and tell them your problem. If it’s been drawn in AutoCAD then it’s probably all on layers and it shouldn’t be much of a problem for them to produce a suitable version for your particular purpose.

    yep, quite common with Autocad formats.. .its plotter fills with a pen.

    When you break it down u might find the outline u need.

    However will require some effort from yourself also to make ‘good’ what u need.

    There is Autocad viewers, these can also help get your print files right with some tinkering.
