Very slow plotting from NX
Very slow plotting from NX
(OP)
Hello.
The guys from the NX5 support installed us our new plotter HP500. But it plots very slow and they couldn't solve the problem. One A0 takes about 20min to plot. We've tried adding QDRAFT and FAST775 to the plot options but didn't hepl much. The resolution is 150 or 300 still no difference.
Please help me to find a solution for this really slow plotting.

Everything should be designed as simple as possible, but not simpler.

It may be that you should speak with your plotter vendor about more memory or better postscript support.
Since most roll plotters support HPGL/2 most roll plotter users configure for HPGL/2 and send that to the plotter.
The catch is that many organizations plot to postscript or PDF files which they keep on disk as plot only as required. To get that working well postscript might also be preferable.
For printer (Laser) plotting postscript is also the more usual option.
Hope this helps
