Hi All,
Would anyone happen to know how to print an AutoCAD PLT file directly to a plotter?
I am using Autocad 2006 on Windows XP and have a Socket PCMCIA serial adapter connected to a null modem cable - which is connected to an HP 7475A pen plotter. I am using a Roland driver and have this set to COM4 on the serial adapter.
I have tried plotting the drawing to the plotter directly from AutoCAD but unfortunately only a the first few lines print before the plotter stalls - no error messages are given.
As I understand this might have something to do with how Windows XP allocates memory and it has been suggested that I try sending the plot directly to the printer from a plot file.
I am not sure how to go about this as my first attempts to send as a PLT file have been unsuccessful.
Many thanks in advance for the help!
