My short question is how can I create a plotfile in HPGL format , which plotter have I to install to have europeen standard paper sizes available. If I use OCE 9400 and I print insdeat of directly to the plotter to the file I´ll get only unreadable files (not HPGL/ 2) Autocad 2002 Thanx in advance Volker -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Volker Landenhammer ----------------------------------------------- Peter und Lochner Beratende Ingenieure für Bauwesen GmbH Prüfingenieure für Baustatik VPI Haussmannstrasse 78, 70188 Stuttgart Tel. 0711/92377-0 Fax -28 E-Mail -----------------------------------------------
beware: HPGL and HPGL/2 are different. To create a HPGL plotter, install the HP DraftMaster in Windows, then create a PC3 plotter on this System printer, plot to file. To create a HPGL/2, install the HP DesignJet 750C or 700 (witch is Monochrome) in windows, then create a PC3 plotter in AutoCAD using this System printer.
