I always struggle to read/remember how my conical centrifuge tube is calibrated. So I've done this little sketch which I have now pinned on the shed wall.

Sorry, my graphics package seems to be playing up at the moment and it just crashes when I try and export to a bitmap, but I've managed to make a .pdf file. Please feel free to print out a copy if you'll find it useful.

Tony ... do you still have Inkscape? If so can I send you the Corel file and see if you can export it in .png format for upload to the wiki?

Still do yes, chuck it on over.

Ta, sent.

Not received - how big was the file?

Strange ... it was 10 meg but it had quite a high res photo on it so I though I removed the photo, but I've just checked the size again and it's saying 11 megs!

I'll have another go.

Just resent ... say it's 20Kb

First one's just bounced back, doesn't say why.

Got it

It doesn't render properly in inkscape, it's missing the text. I'll update inkscape and try again.

if you get stuck, i could probably do it not much slower than making this post : /

I just use free online conversions a lot of the time, eg -

The printer that i used to use does corel draw stuff, but it hurts my brain. Its like some sort of pretty CAD with all the irritations added.

The amount of bother i have with people sending me Illustrator exports... ugghh...

Updated Inkscape has the same problem. I think Julianf is onto something there though!

Thanks Julian,

Many people don't like Corel, but I've known it since it first came out. It was my first venture into computing ... many, many years ago and using it is now like second nature, although I'm stuck on version 10!

Very impressed with that converter, I'll keep it bookmarked, if my version of Corel has got corrupted I may need it!
