[SML] Vectorworks Issue

[Keith Newman]

I was able to work around the problem.  I went to and "print" and went to
the pdf button at the bottom of the menu.  I was able to both view it and
save it that way.  I'm still not sure why the "export pdf" function wasn't
working but at least I got what I need done for now.
