Did it give you some error message about why it failed? You might need to install a new version of .NET or something. Are you using XP or later?

is your windows 7 a 32 bit installation or a 64 bit? I've had several plotter issues with the 32 bit installations.

Update .NET and you should be able to install TrueView.

Hi

you don't save it as PDF

you plot to PDF

 

in the second window under plot scroll down and you will find plot DWG to PDF

 

good luck

Ok Finally got Trueview installed. Thanks guys. Plot is better ( only plots lines once ) but the scale is off. I have set the scale to 1:1 but it plots bigger (44mm line plots at 60mm) I think we are getting there but I think it needs a bit more of a tweak Also I am using A4 paper in the plotter ( paper size has been set in plotter setup but after the plot the carraige runs to the end of the rail?

 

Tried again This time MUCH better but the pen draws a lne from its rest position to the start of the plot .Scale is ok now I have calibrated the plotter

BTW I'm running 64bit

You're running LT 2000i (which is a 32-bit program) on a Win7 64-bit system. Great. For how long may I ask?

install PrimoPDF , it acts as a printer in the system, then in AutoCAD plot to PDF

then Primo will take over

I use PrimoPDF at home, since I have no physical printer. It is nice for the price, free. I definitely recommend it.

I've been running the 32bit software on the 64bit PC for...... years!! I'm still not sure bout this PDf malarkey I have installed such a lot of stuff lately I'm not sure where I am:?

Are you running 2000i using XP compatibility mode?

Not sure, How would I find out? I was running 2000iLT on xp then I upgraded to win 7 I think Win 7 may have done something because since the switch over I get an error message 'object does not support property or method 'JustAddWater'' and Autocad LT 'Today' does not work either.
