One of the most common questions I am asked is "How do you move AutoCAD drawings into Adobe Photoshop?". In fact, I have been asked it so frequently recently that I have created this tutorial, which I hope will form the definitive answer.
There are many reasons why you might want to move your AutoCAD drawings into Adobe Photoshop. You may have realised by now that although AutoCAD is great for creating accurate, clear and intelligent drawings, it often is found wanting when it comes to presentation. Various add-on applications have been written to improve and extend the use of AutoCAD into the presentation arena. M-Color is a good example of such an application. However, I think most people would now accept that if you want ultimate control over presentation drawings, you have to move away from AutoCAD's vector DWG file format and use a raster (pixel) based application, of which, Adobe Photoshop is probably the best known example.
