I'm running LT2005 on XP, and plotting seems to take about 5 minutes from me clicking on the OK button to the plotter/printer whirring into action.
At times, after waiting the 5 minutes, a warning bubble comes up and the plot report says that the plot has been cancelled. I noticed that this happens when I try view other Windows applications (ie: Windows Explorer, Outlook, etc.), but it also happens when I just twiddle my thumbs and don't do anything.
It doesn't seem to matter which printer/plotter I use, or even if it's just to plot a drawing out as a pdf, it's always the same. I know 5 minutes ain't much (yeah right), but if I have a set of 10 drawings to plot, that's 50 minutes wasted and I can't even surf the net while waiting.
Anyone have any ideas?
