Hi, This may be a Hijaak problem, but I hope someone can shed some light on this… I'm trying to use Hijaak for Windows v2.0 to plot drawings I get from 3D Studio by Autodesk. I have no problems when 3DS files are converted to any format (BMP, TIF, Targa, etc.) files, and the size is no larger than size D. However, if the size is E, Hijaak stalls at about 35% plotted. The computer I am using has 16M of RAM and the plotter (HP Design Jet 650 color plotter) has 8M. I am able to plot size E drawings of .BMPs with no problem, but not those that come from 3D Studio. Actually, any file type converted from 3D Studio cannot be plotted in size E (but size D is fine). I am using 3D Studio v2.0. Has anyone here used 3D Studio and Hijaak? I will post this question in the Hijaak forum, also. Thanks in advance, Yvonne
