Hi Mike,
Nice to hear from you!

I still come up for air every once in a while!

Alas, no. Page size is global to the entire set of instructions, but PLI and
model scale are not.

... snipped ...
I’ve resolved almost all of the issues I had run into but still have two I am
struggling with, hopefully someone will have some ideas. I’ve posted a draft
set of the instructions I am working on here:
http://www.carolinatrainbuilders.com/index.php/2010/09/early-draft-of-ctb-6600-instructions/
There is also a description of the issues I am running into but I’ll mention
them again for completeness.
- I have a number of pages where the step number isn’t appearing and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Is there something I should be looking for in the file to give me a hint? I must have done something without realizing it but I am not sure what to look for.
- The other issue I am dealing with is scaling - my Airport Shuttle is long - about 200 studs when it is all put together. This makes it hard to fit on a page. When I scale the final assembly all of the other step images scale too. I can’t seem to scale the image for just one step. Any ideas?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Last question - is there a way to generate a complete BOM image for all of the
parts needed to build the model and add a BOM page at the end?
Thanks,
Mike
