Michael:
First, my apologies for not replying sooner to thank you for your detailed answer. (Not that I understood it all!) My situation is a bit complicated, not to say unusual, in that I am actually collaborating with someone who is on one side of the Atlantic while I am on the other. But, as our English cousins say, "it's needs must".
The pdf that was sent did work and worked well. I am not sure, though what you meant when you said that "It doesn't do this for every kind of file open..." Do you mean that it will not always for pdfs, or not always work for other file types?
We are trying to establish a workflow for the ultimate creation of stl files to drive our CNC machine. At this point I create the wireframe or armature as it were. Next, my English colleague uses this to create the design using his graphic software (CoreDraw), he sends the result back to me as a pdf file and then I use MoI to create the stl file. What I really like about this is that it completely sidesteps the use of a CAD program, something I have often found like using a sledgehammer to drive a tac, att least as far as our purposes are concerned.
Thanks,
Andrew
