#plot spooling
4 messages in this thread
In the autocad 11 manual there is a reference to plot spooling using the
dos tsr print to plot in the background while drawing in autocad.
It mentions however, that 'print' only works with text files. How then is
this accomplished?
tsuneo,
You will probably have better luck with that question in the autocad forum
(go acad). This forum is for Autodesk's multimedia and other software.

Tsuneo:
You can use the PRINT command to send plot files, but only if you rebuild
your plotter cable. The cable configuration illustrated in the AutoCAD
Installation and Performance Guide (I&PG) only works if you use XON/XOFF.
There are also a number of plot spooling programs that do what you want to
do, without having to change cabling. My company sells one of the better
known programs, PLUMP-Rx.
The ACAD forum would be a more appropriate place for AutoCAD-specific
questions in the future. And I'd be glad to answer any specific questions
you might have about plot spooling.

Hi
You should redirect your AutoCAD questions to the Acad forum; go adesk. We
do the multimedia stuff here: 3D Studio, AA Pro, etc.
