Yup, there is a limit to size. Probably the best thing to do is just attach the vectors as an eps. Or you could try to describe what you are doing and see if we can all figure it out. Sort of like charades on a computer!

Take a screen capture of the file or use Save Preview Image in Aspire, and post that, then tell us what's up. Also, if you zip it, it might go small enough but I dont know how big is "too big" !! :)

Try setting the wine glass component to "merge" and then increase the base height until it is raised up above the wine bottles.... :wink:

Hope this helps,

And if that fails, use the outline of the wine glass to "punch" out the model of the wine bottles, then model your wine glass in the hole and raise it up. (Tim hates that method cause you cannot move the glass around after that, he has a point there)

By the way, nice design!
