HiHo; Save the dwg as a wmf then use Oriens Enhancer GOLD at this site

to convert to a tiff. It's free.

3 solutions

1. get a friend with MicroStation to print it as a tiff (the files are still huge for if you want good resolution)

1. print it and scan it
2. pdf95 (free) print it as a pdf then print as a tiff (still huge)

good luck t.

Install a EPS-Plotter from the File Pulldownmenu "add neu printer" in AutoCAD(choose PostSriptLevel1 for example). Than print the file digital as a *.eps-file with the PostScriptLevel-printer. Go to Photoshop and open it. Give the resolution you think is good for you (it comes a dialog-box, everytime you open *.eps in Photoshop.) It takes a couple of minutes.Flatten all to the backgroundlayer. Save it as *.tiff-file with the resolution and quality you wish for.

That's the best way I know. Its unfortunately a pre-condition that you have Photoshop.

We use ViewCompanion

to convert our hpgl/2 plot files to TIF. Generally they will still be bigger than the plot file even with appropriate compression methods. But that is more a limitation of raster files in general.
