    Hi,

    I just finished making a beautiful drawing in Autocad 2005. Now I want
    to convert it to the eps format but the result looks HORRIBLE using
    Autocads export function. As an example, all my thick lines are drawn
    thin in the eps format. That is not acceptable. Basically I need a
    picture format which can be imported into a word processing program and
    it should be scalable without any loss (vector). Any suggestions?

  2. You will get the best results using .pdf format.

    You can download a free program for this from our web site "fee stuff"
    link, call ghostscript. You will also need redmon, available from the
    ghostscript web site.

    Print as pdf and open pdf in illustrator lines thickness will be unchanged with corresponding thicknesses

    Best

  4. Just remember to keep your dpi as high as you can stand. I find 300 is
    generally adequate for my purposes. Any less than that and the differences
    between my finer lineweights is obscured.
