1. Print to PDF

2. Open the PDF in photoshop. That will rasterize it (make it pixel graphics like a photo)... It will prompt you for a resolution... You can use a relatively high res when you rasterize it... say 150 or 300 dpi should be okay...

3. Flatten the Image. This will make it have a white background.

4. Make the bounding box around the part of the drawing you want to post to your website... using the marquee tool, and then crop it... (image --> crop)...

5. Save it using: File --> Save for Web & Devices... This will save it as a .gif file for your website...

Thanks bRink for your helpful advice. I just have one small problem...I don't have Photoshop. I'm really lacking with some resources and I still do all of my renderings in AutoCad 2010...I know it'a kinda sad.

Download Gimp.

I would probably...

1. Print to PDF

2. Open it in Adobe Acrobat then and save as JPEG... (I think acrobat can save as JPEG...) That will rasterize it...

3. Open the JPEG in Paint (which comes with windows)...

4. Crop it in Paint if it needs cropping... Or rescale as needed...

5. Use Paint to save it as a .GIF

Thanks FP, I'm downloading that right now.

I'll certainly give that a try bRink.

could open it as pdf in illustrator then save as transparent background raster image

i always import DWG into illustrator so i can get scale of lines right. and then export as jpg (uh, i think - it's been a few months since i've used anything other than email or autocad... yikes)

FP,
Now I'm totally addicted to Gimp. I just spent the last 40 minutes trying out all the tools. Let me get back on track with my original issue.

holz.boz,
Totally understand what your saying. I use Mtext to write and edit my emails...it's very sad.
