RE: EPS graphics change size on importing to Frame?

["Kevin McGuire" <kevinm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had some interesting experiences with graphic imports also. How about
trying this.
When you import your graphic, choose the "fit in rectangle" option but write
down the physical dimensions that FrameMaker predicts at 150 dpi (assuming
that was the resolution when you created the image). Next, right click on
the image and set its properties of width and height to match what you wrote
down. It works for me. (I'm using FM6 on a solaris network)
