Hey Guys! I'm new to the forum so please advise and forgive if I've posted this in the wrong place. I've been using Stardraw for nine months or so and I really do enjoy the increased productivity and it's ability to "bridge the gap" where I fall short in the CAD area. I do have a couple questions, though.

First, are there any ideas on how to incorporate Stardraw's actual excel cable schedule or Bill of Materials (BOM) as a legible drawing page (to include the title block)? I've not been able to import the actual excel sheet. I have tried several different ways to add it as a snapshots/snippets with the picture import button located on the toolbar. I have tried all picture file extensions/resolutions and I still have not have not been able to produce a legible export or "PDF print" (Cute PDF Writer) of that page. On a side note, the document is very legible in the Stardraw program itself. Have I reached the limitations of the file convertors?

Second, is there a way to print a blank title block page, with my fields populated, and I may simply set the page margins, in Excel, within the "blank drawing area" of the title block? Similar to an "old school", pre printed, letterhead--I guess.... FYI, I've not been able to add a title block to a blank page as the feature is "grayed-out" until a product is dragged and dropped.

Thank you all for your time and attention!
