how do you make a decent jpeg

from a dwg?

 

The jpeg format isn't intended for vector graphics. You'd be better off
using PDF.

do a search for "ghostview" - a free combination of utilities that lets you
plot to an eps file and then convert to a variety of formats including jpeg.
you have great contol over resolution, page size, and so forth. Paul's
commment above is valid however, sometimes you need a jpg or png (powerpoint
presentation for example).

 

have always found Raster File Plotter to be completely inadequate for decent
graphics

 

Thanks guys, turns out this contractor thought everything that wasn't a text
document was a jpeg. He can read dwg's and pdf's. aarrrrrgh

 

You're pretty full of yourself aren't you Dean

 

nah - probably just got up on the wrong side of the bed. Dean consistantly
provides good help and valuable insights to many people in these various
discussion groups. His company has some really good stuff, too.
