Help! Can't plot

Help! Can't plot

Post by Richard Russe » Thu, 06 Feb 1997 04:00:00



Used to run R12 Dos on a 486 with a PS2 mouse. On this machine the plotter
(HP7580B) was connected with a cable that had a 25 pin connector at the
plotter and a regular 9 pin serial connector at the computer (COM1).

I now have a Pentium running Windows NT and R13.  I am aware of the plot
spooling that is required for NT and intend to tackle that later.  In the
meantime I thought that I would plot from DOS.  I soon discovered that the
new machine has a serial mouse and the second com port has a 25 pin
connector.  I bought a 9pin to 25 pin adaptor for the cable but I cannot
get the plotter to respond in R13 DOS or my old R12 DOS.  Anybody have any
hints?
Thanks,
Rich Russell

1. wise to share'plot styles' 'drv' and 'support' folders

I'm a cad manager.  To make things more uniform in the office I have placed
the plotstyles, fonts, plotters, drv and even support folders on our main
server. All the users stations are then configured to use these files. I
know this is a terrible hack but it seems to work. in making all the plot
characteristics of all the stations uniform an it also allows centralized
customization.  Thus far I have had a few quirks, periodically plotter
doesn't layout the job correctly. but thus far the benefits far outweigh the
negative. Is there an easier way to accomplish this ?
