AutoCad LT WMF export problem
AutoCad LT WMF export problem
(OP)
I would like for our office personnel to be able to grab AutoCad drawings from our designers in electrical and mechanical using AutoCad LT (2000 and later) and then export the files as *.wmf files to use in making manuals and marketing stuff.
When we drop that wmf into Microsoft Word the lines are too thin to print properly. Have spent many hours in both AutoCad LT and Word and am finding only long laborius methods to thicken the lines.
Went to Autodesk knowledge base.
If I follow Autodesk's advice I would have to take hours per drawing to re-format in Word as they suggest by selecting one object at a time and thickening the line. I cannot select all the lines at one time (Word will not do that). I have tried everything I can think of in both AutoCad and Word to make the process easy. Grouping, Select All, etc., etc.
Am I missing something? I would be very grateful for a slick easy method, or even a bearable one.

in Your Plotmanager You can find Rasterfileformats. Take the tif-plotter (nit jpeg-plotter), add, and plot in your folder as *.tif. Gratis!! Your papersize is not inches or mm, it's pixel. The quality is ok. It need some training. Then you can import the file into word...
