    does any one know a batch program that will enable me to print .plt files. I
    tried this
    lpr -S xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -P raw -o l -d %1, which I copied from AutoDesk
    website but it does not work. (I put the real ip address in place of x's)

    How do you use this program when your not using A (Euro.) paper sizes? I
    have tried using Govert's program several times as everyone recomends it
    but when I go to change the paper size only A-1...etc are listed.

    Thanks, Rich

    goplot is only for sending the plot FILE to the printer/plotter.

    create the plot FILE with whatever papersize you want through acad then open
    goplot click on the select button and path to the plot file you created. make
    sure your output device is correct then click on the ok print button

    The paper sizes in the 'Configure' menu are only meant to be used for
    PostScript printers, to make prints fit on these(DIN) paper sizes. Dave's
    explanation is excellent.

    copy filename.plt \\server\resource
    works for me (in a command prompt window)
