Horizontal and Vertical scale plotting different - HP1050C

    We recently purchased the HP1050 plotter - since the new plotter,

    we have been having plotting challenges. The horizontal scale of

    the drawing does not plot properly. When I measure the horizontal

    grid lines of a plan they are off, the vertical grid lines are

    correct.



    My viewport is the correct scale, the plot scale is 1:1 in ps and the

    grid lines measure correctly in autocad. Two out of the three

    autocad computers in our office are having this problem. The third

    computer plots the same drawings correctly. Therefore, this would

    lead me to think it is an autocad or computer problem, not a plotter

    problem. We are using the same drivers, plotter config, etc. Any

    guesses?? We are using Land Desktop 3

    Now the computer that was plotting correctly, no longer is.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    The pc3 is on our network and the same file is used by all three

    computers. The driver is hpgdi7.hdi from what I can gather from my

    limited knowledge.

    Thanks so much.

    Hi Dean
    I guess I don't understand you.
    Where would I find the Windows driver?

    The plotter is a 1050C Plus, does that make a difference?

    Thanks Dean,
    Sorry for the delay, I was out a few days. That seemed to do the trick.
    Thanks again!
