Plagiarism!

It's a strange feeling with mixed emotions when your work has been claimed by somebody else. I feel both flattered and mad.

I can understand if a first year student caught up in the generation of Tumblr and "no copyrights" steps over the line and copy a little bit to much, but when a trained architect with a masters degree does so.... hmmm.

Yovcho Gorchev, has a Master's degree in both Architecture and Film-design. He also has at least two projects where several of my drawings are pubished, some original and some altered, no place named as references or inspiration, but as the project.

Not very professional, Yovcho. Not at all.

Please do not enhance thin lines, Adobe

Just found a solution for a issue that has been bothering me and many of my friends, for as long as I've known what a vector drawing is.

Since I'm a vector fanatic this is great news.

Ok, here it is:

You know when you open a nice vector drawing in Acrobat and it looks messy with all fat lines, like image no.1, but in your vector software it looked fine, like image no.2

Just go to Edit/Preferences/Page display/ and make sure that enhance thin lines is un-checked. Problem solved forever, but unfortunately only on your machine, i.e. it doesn't apply to the document.
