ADT 3.3: Slow transfer to printer

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Franken Kreft Architekten, Oct 16, 2003.

  1. Hi,
    we are using ADT 3.3 on W2K. Our Plotter DJ750C is connected to one of our
    Workstations, which is part of a little peer - to - peer - network. When we
    send a plot-file to the plotter, the workstation´s CPU is for 100 %
    occupied with handling the file. It takes 15min. to process a coloured file
    of 6MB. Does anybody have an idea how to change this situation. Thanks for
    any clue.

  2. Are you using truetype fonts? Autodesk released an autocad update to
    improve speed with truetype fonts. also try reducing textqlty to 8
    instead of the default 50. I've never seen a significant difference in
    the quality of output but the file size shrinks enormously and the
    result is a much quicker plot. This affects your generating of the
    drawing, your transfer speed, and the plotter time to interpret the results.
