Its a great idea, but trying it out, I had trouble getting an acceptable
result for a bCisive map. (Assume it is the same for Rationale.) The
"poster" is too pixelated. The problem is that BlockPosters requires GIF or
JPG, and a GIF or JPG image created by bCisive/Rationale is quite small -
intended for one-page printing - and so does not size up well at all.
If only BlockPosters accepted vector graphic files... or bCisive/Rationale
allowed exporting of much more high-resolution gif or jpg files...
