HPGL2 questions.

I am trouble shooting a Vinyl cutter GRC-50, which i controlled by a database program thru a seriel connection. This is part of a what it send to the cutter:

PU 394.910382,4780.970995;
CI 136;
PU3449.725551,2134.272610;
PU 3449.725551,2134.272610;PD;
AR-3.779703,2564.533820,-61.392368;
PD 1196.30211268904,3467.56678466091;
AR2276.995176,1255.697335,-47.202984;
PD 1004.91266154558,5540.91940303053;
PD1396.033997,6785.586567;
AR882.935589,-273.547680,-30.048383;

I've been able to convert this to a DWG format, I'm looking to convert a DWG file to this format (I beleive it is HPGL2) but haven't quite mastered it yet.

Any help?

 

It is HPGL. To get that from AutoCAD, you can load one of the HPGL
drivers in AutoCAD (e.g. for HP model 7475A) and plot to file. You will
not get the real circles (CI) and arcs (AR) that you have in your code
now; they will be built from series of short straight vectors. Some
cutters may not like that. I also don't know whether the cutter expects
the origin in the center (large format pen plotters), or in the corner
(small format pen plotters and HPGL/2 devices).

I have one driver allready setup for an HP 755CM, I use it for my reprographic vendor near me it gives me this in Notepad:

not exactly what I'm looking for. Will try the plotter you suggested.

Either way thanks for responding.
