Thanks,

I had downloaded Ghostscript but the command line threw me. GSView takes the mystery out of it.

The output is accurate too. Check with my calipers.
I used CAM output set to PS_Inverted to make the post script file.

I am pretty sure the image export is just a screen capture. The image size changed with the window size.

You might also look for ps2pdf -- if there is a Windows version?? With these tools, you can convert your postscript output into a PDF file. Ghostscript also lets you do a bunch of other things with postscript.
