    Greetings,
    This has got to be a simple thing but have never had to do this before.
    Just recieved plot files from a consultant to print out, but I just don't
    see how to do this. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Using Autocad 2002.
    Thx-
    CEK

    No AutoCAD necessary.

    Assuming the plot files were created using the driver compatible with
    your plotter... (note that .plt is not a defined file format, only an
    extension.)

    Open a DOS prompt (or 'command prompt' in NT/2K/XP), navigate to the
    directory where the plot files are located, then use the following syntax:

    copy *.plt LPT4
    -or-
    copy *.plt \\server\sharedprinter


    For a long term solution, see http://www.carlsonsw.com/support/sendplot.htm
