If you do, I've had AutoCAD guys generate a .pdf and used that both

If you want to maintain the vector quality, you should save your CAD
files to EPS. If this can't be done directly from Solidworks, you should
be able to get a printer driver that will generate the EPS file.

I would convert them to PDF and import them into FrameMaker. Google DXF to
PDF and you will find some programs that do this.

We never directly use DXF files. We first clean up the DXF file in

I think the problem, to be quite honest with you,
There is a pdf in the zip )fm71_usingdita.pdf). There are installation
instructions in that. Could have been a bit more obvious though.
Something like Installation perhaps :-)

I have a client in Ireland who wants the Euro symbol to show up in their
pricing. So it should look like (Euro symbol)Price. The problem is when we
import the tab file from our filemaker database into Frame it changes the
Euro symbol to a (Latin Captial Letter A with Diaeresis or the Captial
Hit Alt+0128 for the Euro symbol.

Thanks Gillian but that is not it.
When we import the raw tab file into frame it is converting the euro symbol
in the file to the A with the two dots over it. If we import the dollar
symbol it displays just fine in Frame.

You must have a font that supports the Alt+0128 when you enter the Alt
code. I just tried it with Helvetica Neue and it works just fine.
In your tab file, find the first instance and make the change manually.
Then copy what you manually did to the clipboard and globally search for

Here is what we figured out. We had to bring the correct hex ISO latin-1
character codes for frame to understand the euro.
For the euro symbol -- \xf5 no quotes and space after the 5.
We will have to incorporate this into our filemaker out put.
Interesting.

Scott - you are seeing a classic font mapping problem. First
Does the data in the database actually include the Euro symbol
or does the database contain only the numerical values? In other
words, is the Euro symbol added as formatting when the database
produces the export file that you're importing into FrameMaker?
If so, my recommendation would be to
