Vectors

[Guest]

How do we import Vector Files in Powerpoint? or What is the best way we could
show vector graphics in Powerpoint.

We usually use Photoshop (JPG) but the resolustion from AutoCAD is very
poor. If Drag & Drop DWG files to PPT directly we lose the Gradient Fills.
So we used photoshop. But the result is not good enough. We are dealing
mostly with Maps presentations on PPT. Can we have the best of both
applications, PS raster capabilities and enhancement, and Vector quality on
the Maps. Huh...

Hope u could help us...
Thanks and more power to MS.

Try saving/exporting from AutoCAD as a WMF or EMF.

If you want to keep the graphics as vectors in PPT, I'd leave them filled with
flat color, no gradients, then export to WMF or EMF as Echo suggested. Fill
them using PowerPoint's own gradient fills. That'll keep them editable and more
easily printable, and keep the file size down besides.
