Thanks Leslie! 🙂

My question was a combo of both learning CDs for LA in general and using AutoCAD to generate CDs. I will check out my local municipalities and browse through the forums here. Thanks for addressing my second question too! Your response was very helpful! 🙂

I will def check out that German magazine. I know a friend who works for an Architecture company. I’ll ask him if they can give me a few copies of their CDs for learning purposes. I just checked out the website caddetails.com and I am really liking it! And thanks for also addressing my second question! 🙂

I’ve noticed more job posts for entry level positions in China. What are your thoughts on the jobs out there and your experience? I graduated with a BA in LA, but I have not yet taken a job in this field since graduation. I have been thinking of applying…[Read more]

I’ve been away from Land8 for awhile as I have been busy with other things. I doubt it has to do with a link problem because it would state that when I open up the InDesign document. But regardless, is there a way to find out of a broken link?
Your second guess could be a likely problem. I will try to tinker around with the ppi to see…[Read more]

I think the reason this is happening only when I convert it to an Interactive pdf is because it might have something to do with the fact that the original files are images. These are the original layers that I put together in Photoshop. I can’t remember what…[Read more]

Honestly, I’d rather not get into too much detail and confuse the heck out of everyone. But I will keep it simply by saying that I exported the section from InDesign under “Automatic” compression at “72” ppi with a “Maximum” JPEG quality. Here’s what I got:

None of the options worked. I tinkered with the compression options got the same results. Interactive=poor quality and pdf print=good quality. At this point, could I just create…[Read more]

It’s not blurry at all when I use “print overview.” It only gets that way as soon as it is converted to pdf. Thank you for your help though!

I just tried it out. I’ve run into a problem though. Whenever I preview the drawing in either method, some of my layers (mostly the ones that I worked on in Photoshop) disappear and the vector lines that I worked on Illustrator remain. I don’t know why this is happening.

That’s actually the steps I took when I was in school using the PCs. I’ll see if my mac can do the same, otherwise it seems like the method I’m doing makes sense and works just the same.

Do I just go to “Marks and Bleeds” when you are trying to save as Adobe pdf? You just check mark them, right?

Ya, I might consider doing scale marks and I’ll check out Pina Zangaro!

I tried the “fit to frame”and it worked! 
Where do I go for the “print to pdf”? I remember doing that in school, but I am using a MacBook now with the latest Adobe Suite cs5. The options are somewhat different. I just went to “save as” when I converted the individual drawings into pdf. But instead, you’re telling me to…[Read more]
