spooling dialogue box
spooling dialogue box
(OP)
I am using autocad 2002.I plot to a network plotter hp800 or hp750.When I plot the spooling box shows up and then it takes a long time to plot.Can I turn this off? What is happening when it is spooling?
Thanks

I agree with Borgunit in that Acad doesn't want you to do anything until it finishes all the calculations for plotting. When I switch to Acad 2002 I had the same problem with the S L O W plotter. It would take a map composed of 2-40meg images 20 minutes to send to the plotter then another 20 minutes to plot on an HP755CM. I forgot to mention that when we upgraded to Acad 2002 that we also moved from WinNT to WinXP. Once we got the latest driver from HP the plot mentioned above would take 2 minutes to spool and 15 to plot. The difference was my plotfile size went from 400 meg to 50 meg. We recently upgraded to a HP1055 (I think) and that same plot takes 5 minutes.
