Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I am a new Primavera user. I use Primavera not for planning/scheduling, but for producing work packages. We use steps mostly, and occasionally the notebook feature. I am having a problem putting an AutoCAD drawing in the notebook review comments. I tried using bitmap, wmf, and even converted to a jpg file, they come out too big and run off the page when I run the report. They look fine in the Activity. Can anyone help me out?

Seems like a good selection, I just saw they have a product called Canvas geared for technical drawings, good to know, thanks for the reference.

TRY EITHER OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING

1 PRINT TO PDF - YOU WILL STILL HAVE CONTROL ON LAYERS AND EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE FILE

2 USE FREE VIEWER AND COMMENTING TOOL AUTODESK DESIGN REVIEW AND EVERYONE WHO INSTALL THE FREE VIEWER WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE FILE

3 USE A SCREEN CAPTURE UTILITY - RECOMMEND PICPICK IS FREE AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PASTE SECTIONS OF YOUR DRAWINGS.
