(...) But aren't we all interested in being able to make nice compact printable versions of our building instructions? IMO EPS and PDF are ideal formats for that. And since it is reasonably trivial to convert EPS to PDF, it makes sense to make the (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

(...) Yeah, but I don't think it's trivial to convert from 3D LDR format to EPS. That's the problem. There are plenty of ways to Convert from a 3D format to a 2D representation suitable for printing, but most of them involve rasterization at some (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I know `pnmtops` very well (there's a bug in one of Red Hat's versions of it), but once you have rasterised a vector image, there is really no way to get back to the quality of the vector image again. Using `pnmtops` you will either get much (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
