My own maps suffer somewhat.<BR/>I will try to post my process ASAP. Although it's outdated I believe it could have application in 08/09 and intend to explore it when I upgrade my own rendering process.<BR/>Just one tip for 06. Make sure your map ref only contains the jpg itself and NOT the c:/blah/blah etc. As long as your maps are in the search path it will be fine. Trouble is if you shift a map or open on a different pc it's stuffed. I use Explorer and cut & paste the name straight in to Acad.Nathan Elleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202289610321383741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289439345801804055.post-42760347009579849352008-08-12T23:34:00.000+08:002008-08-12T23:34:00.000+08:00Nathan,Thanks!

I would be interested in seeing your process. <BR/>What I'm understanding is you create the landscape objects in 06 with image and opacity map, insert those into a drawing in 06, then copy/paste those objects into a 08/09 drawing. <BR/>I work in 2 different offices, so I need to try this later when I have both installs available.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413943281694357661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289439345801804055.post-14393478872778620352008-08-12T22:14:00.000+08:002008-08-12T22:14:00.000+08:00Basically any landscape object that is created in ...Basically any landscape object that is created in acad 6 or prior can be cut & pasted into 08/09 and rendered. Some tricks;<BR/>I abandonded the library editor except to create the item at first. It also doesn't work in 7-9. <BR/>Once created I cut & paste into a dwg file so that I can see all my objects and not have to guess. I have a tree file, a plant file etc. They are sized correctly etc. It's a lot quicker and more efficient than using the libary.<BR/>My file would be opened in shaded iso view so each item can be easily seen.<BR/>If you want me to do a full article on it, post back. I would be happy to share my work method.Nathan Elleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202289610321383741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289439345801804055.post-32093529270644284022008-08-12T06:55:00.000+08:002008-08-12T06:55:00.000+08:00HOW do you "bring in" old landscape objects into 2...HOW do you "bring in" old landscape objects into 2008?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289439345801804055.post-63060066576879662962008-06-06T16:26:00.000+08:002008-06-06T16:26:00.000+08:00Thanks Ken, welcome.
