Hi,
Many thanks Joe. I've followed your advice and lo and behold I can now print both 2D & 3D and have saved the 3D to "My documents" as a bitmap file allowing Gimp 2 to access it for re-sizing etc. A big step forward now all I need to do is to sort out the 2D drawing and convert it from EMS file format.
The 3D image can be seen below as a picture but I can't add the link in 2D allowing it to opened and manipulated in 3D yet until converted into another file format.
I've a lot to learn but I'm slowly getting there.
I'm like a dog with a bone and won't settle until I can move EMS files around at will then I can resume the Jubilee project and practice a lot more with EMS. What is surprising me is that I expected a great deal more trouble using this CAD with the likelihood of failing again; now I can use the CAD program I'm having troubles with moving the pictures around which has always been so easy previously. It's a strange world.
This is the kind of drawing I wanted to achieve Lawrence & Gary as it gives me a good 3D view of the item I'm making which is a powerful aid. I can design/scale and view in 3D at the drawing stage to ensure I'm happy before I switch my machines on as it is so easy to make a silly mistake; I'd much rather correct on the computer than have many hours work thud into the scrap bin. I've added this picture as normal transferring it from EMS to My Documents then re-sizing using Gimp 2. The previous picture was a digital image taken from the monitor using my camera so a big step in the right direction.
Kind regards, Col.
