Re: DBUG> Datacad with OCE 9400

[Jim Allen <jallen@northlink.com>]

Hi,

We have plotted to an Oce' 9400 up until they updated to a 9600.  These 
plotters plot what they see on the paper.  So if your drawing doesn't go all 
the way to the end of the sheet, they will cut it off at the end of the 
drawing.  What we have done is to make a small mark that is just inside the 
plotting area at each corner.  Say you are printing on 36" x 24" sheets.  We 
would put very small lines at say 35 3/4" and 23 3/4" so they will fall just 
inside the area we want to plot.  Otherwise it will cut the plot off after the 
drawing.  We use a border that our drawings go inside of.  Just outside of the 
border we have these dots, that are small enough that they aren't seen.

I hope that was clear enough.

My problem is, that I haven't been able to get the plots to rotate correctly 
since updating to the latest Oce' driver for Win2k.  So I have to print them 
out in the 24" width, instead of the 36" width, like we always had.
