I've been using SketchUp to create preliminary concepts. Then in DataCAD (v 15.04.02.01) for a current Title page I wanted to include this SketchUp generated BMP as a 3-D concept overview. I'm working with only a single page of mainly text plus an XREF title block, so no heavy CAD files - very light at only 632k.

I can see the BMP clearly on the screen and also on plot preview, but the finished PDF plot only includes a small portion of the BMP image. The image starts to plot from it's right side moving left but abruptly stops with only about 15% of the image plotted. Everything else plots just fine.

This happens upon plotting to PDF using Nitro PDF Creator. Plotting to paper works fine.

Any help out there on this?

You might be stretching the friendship with your memory. Try converting it to JPG and see if that fixes it - even a GIF

Or convert to a PNG - any of the above should help, otherwise you'll have to reduce the size of the image from SUp. You might also want to try a different PDF writer instead of the built-in writer in Dcad - some like PDFill, I've used CutePDF and now use NovaPDF (paid version).
