Why Won't It Render?

[Calpol]

I've done a wee drawing of a demilune table on AutoCAD but it doesn't want to render it. I've imported a jpeg of quilted maple to the material library and it's struggling to render that particular material. I don't know if it won't render it but it takes ages for not much to happen...

Any ideas?

Sorry, I'm no help. Surely there's a forum for autoCAD users around where you might find some excellent help.

Its a long time since I used Autocad so not able to offer much but:

Can you render with any of the other materials in the library?. If yes is your jpeg following the Autocad standards (whatever they may be!) ?

Couple of web sites may find some info here:

Don't have time to look at those links or find a CAD forum at the mo, but cheers anyway chaps, when I get a minute I'll check them out...

Anyway it was rendering fine with other materials. I had the quilted maple on the top of the table and it was happy doing that but once I attached it to the curved rail it was having none of it! I'll try and just fiddle with it and see what happens

Thanks
