Chris Tebbutt Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I have vectorworks 9 for windows. My service bureau wants HPGL2 plt files. How do I create these files in Vectorworks. How do I print plt files and is there software to view the files for checking purposes. Many thanks in great anticipation Quote Link to comment
MikeB Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 You should be able to go the the HP web site and get the windows drivers for free. I'vw used the ones for the HP designjet 600 with good results. You simply install it onto your system as another printer and then in Vector Works in the print dialgue box there should be a box to check that says print to file or save as file or something. Then it will ask for a location to save the file. I don't know of any utility to check the files with. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment
Dave M Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Check up on the related discussion titled "Commercial Printing from a File". After years of trying, I have never been able to create a useable plot file within VW on a Windows PC. The solution is to use Adobe Acrobat to print .PDF files that can be printed by most services.
