exporting plans from plotmaker

Anonymous — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 15:02:55 GMT

can anyone help me to export plans and sections from plotmaker.

basically i want to get plans from my project into adobe indesign but when i save plans from archicad as jpegs or tiffs the line weights come out far too thick. i can save plans as plotmaker files and then open them in plotmaker but i cant open plotmaker images in adobe indesign.

is it possible to export images from plotmaker?

thanks

Depending on your platform, there are different options.
1)publish to pdf and place it in InDesign
2)publish to dwg, open in illustrator and link to InD.

The idea is to keep the PM output in vector format so that you don't loose resolution.

OS type and version will help, so will reading the help files, but here is the tip;
1) file -> publisher -> publish
2) select the layouts you want
3) select the type of publish you want (pdf, dwg)
4) select the folder to publish to
5) click publish
