Thank you for the add to the group, and WOW...lots of talented people making droids.
Since 1979 (when my father set me on the hood of his cab wit a bucket of chicken and a blanket at the drive in to watch Episode 4) i have been a STAR WARS fan.That being said..the droids were my favorite part and still are.
i recently joined the Astromech.net forums in an attempt to learn to build an astromech droid .(my kids play swkotor and love those little mechs that follow them around and give them bonuses) In an attempt to build a small R2 like droid about 2 feet tallish for my kids.great group of people and very informative, but i want a pitt droid and a T=series astromech also. so im looking for any info i can find to build DROIDS in general.
Hoping to get to know everyone and learn all i can.
and the sentry droid from episode 7 looks like a great beginer project for me.
again thanks for the add. and get ur translaters operational cause my typing/spelling is attrotiouse!!!

50%..half scale..and only thing that prints out is the antanea..everything else lines r toooooooooooooooo light and dont print
just want to know how to darken the lines or what ever i need to do to get them to print.i chose poster for the print option..then print peices on each of 15 pages for each file but it doesnt print the thin lines

If you have a vector based drawing program, you might be able to import the PDFs, then manipulate them as necessary.
