    Hi,

    I generated a short script following the commands of -plot. It doesn't seem to plot the lineweights correctly, but it works ok when I plot using the normal plot routine. I think that it's not looking at the ctb file (WHY???), script is below, I am running win2000, acad2002.

    -plot
    yes
    model
    \\gay0it08.gaydon.landrover.ford.com\H00731
    a4
    millimeters
    landscape
    no
    view
    plot-frame1
    fit
    center
    yes
    plot-engineering2.ctb
    yes
    yes
    no
    no
    yes

    Any help would be much appreciated

    With our program Multi-Batch there is a wizard that will create the routines
    for you, just select the printer, ctb file etc and it will automatically
    create the finished routine.

    If you are using the full version of AutoCAD you can use lisp. The wizard
    will create a routine that uses lisp to get the drawings current setup
    Layout/Modelspace and plot accordingly. It can also plot all tabs.

    This is the routine that was created. The 16th and 17th lines are different
    from yours.

    The previous email's routine did not quite turn out right.

    You will need to delete one space each time.

    If you still have problems please contact us or download the demo and create
    your own.
