Matt, thanks for this. Via Google, I've found a short-cut on the print command on my Mac; press Print, then pdf is listed bottom left and you can email it or save it or other options. It works well for small vectorworks drawings - A3...

Well done Amanda on winning the Trade Stand design competition, excellent news - do let us know which it is and we'll keep an eye open for it.

Hi Amanda - thanks for your comments and your offer. Re: Planting Plans, don't usually out source this bit as it's one of the best bits to do! Kind Regards James

Hi Amanda - I am trying hard to create some 3D drawings in Vectorworks which I will try and post here once I am a bit further down the line. I feel like I am going back to absolute basics and while I know exactly what I want to achieve it's proving harder to do on the screen! The garden is on quite a slope and is nearly completely innaccessible but I had the landscaper round on Saturday which helps focus the mind. He was very helpful - the more I get involved with it the more excited I get and so does the client. It's a modern interpretation of an Art Deco garden with some stunning features.

OK Amanda, Can definitely spare 2 days and could possibly run to three if you are desperate. I meant to say, although I don't have anything like your impressive qualifications I do have City and Guilds in Garden Design. email me when you have more details p_higgs@btconnect.com

Hi Amanda, How much time do you think would be involved. I'd love to help, I'm a self employed gardener, based in London. It really does depend on how much time I'd have to give up. Let me know. Spiggy
