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.
|
Things seem fine through page 14, and then they go away. One of two things come
to mind. Either it is an LPub bug, or, possibly the page number is hiding
*under* the PLI? I’d make sure that the PLI is placed relative to the page
number.
You can always send me your MPD (which will be held in the strictest of
confidence), and I can look at it.
| |
- 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?
|
Go to the final page, put your cursor on the assembly step and right click. You
should be able to set the model scale just for that step.
| |
Any other suggestions are welcome.
|
Given that your overall model is more wide than tall, had you considered using a
more landscape set of page dimensions? Go to page configuration and swap the
numbers in page dimensions to get landscape.
Did you know that you can resize PLI’s by dragging the mouse? It would seem you
might be able to merge page 11 and 12 if you shorten the PLI in step 7....
| |
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?
|
Add a trailing cover page, then you should be able to use the “Insert BOM” menu.
Thanks for the nice comments about LPub on your web page. Did you know that you
can create a cover page and insert a picture into the cover page? You should
not *have* to use Acrobat for that.
