It's amazing what you can do with PowerCADD, especially when you get other programs involved. This is my part of a larger group studio project. It was a studio of 12 people, which was broken down to groups of 2 or 3. This plan was the product of my group of 3, the sections are mine though, we had 2 others. All of these sheets (the sections are about 10 feet long) were arranged on a large wall for the final presentation, and the colors were keyed to shaded areas on our master plan. Someone made a base Photoshop file with all the layers set up, and everyone was on their own from that point. This is where PowerCADD really shined. People were having a dickens of a time exporting their drawings to Photoshop from AutoCAD. Line weights were coming out wrong, the resolution was off, the exporting crashed their computer, they'd have to export to eps and go from Illustrator to Photoshop, etc. I ended up importing dxf's of about half the people's drawings (r12 worked the best), setting up the line weights in PowerCADD and exporting them to Photoshop which they then worked on themselves. The presentation looked fabulous, but the drawings done by people who exported their linework directly from AutoCAD were much less readable. Go PowerCADD! Jeffrey Jakucyk
