ReMark Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It sounds like you are talking about a "virtual plotter". Is that correct? Maybe this might be of interest...http://autodesk.blogs.com/between_the_lines/2011/02/how-to-create-a-pdf-from-autocad-with-a-single-click.html Does it have to be a PDF? How about configuring a DXB plotter like so....http://www.ehow.com/how_7915701_configure-dxb-plotter.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 If it doesn't have to be a pdf, OK, but I have always considered the DWG to PDF.pc3 a virtual plotter. I don't have a large format plotter either, but I give my clients ArchD 24x36 or any other size they want in pdf anyway. In fact, unless they cry and moan, I never furnish hard copies of anything to anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
