I'm asking this on behalf of a mate, and it may as well be in greek for me, but if anyone out there can help (i guess i'm looking at you, Graphic Designers of the world) please reply...!

Verbatim from my mates email:

"How can I import/export vector line images from and between sketchup/AutoCAD to scale, for use in document format, whilst retaining scale when printing from adobe illustrator/in design/PageMaker etc."

any help much appreciated, if you need any further info PM me or reply to this!

Cheers

Sod the scale. You shouldn't measure off a drawing any way - only read the dimensions. set your Autocad background to white and take a screen dump (alt prt_sc). Plonk it in an a photo package. Now it's a jpeg and you can do what you like with it.

Probably of no help, but somebody may find it of use.
