Plotting problem with very long drawings
Plotting problem with very long drawings
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I'm having problems plotting very long drawings in AutoCad Mechanical 2004 running on Windows XP with an HP 1055cm plotter. I'm trying to plot a cylinder head drawing from a customer that is 350" long by 40" tall. I want to plot it at half scale (175 x 20), but with XP, the longest drawing size (post-script custom page size) is 129". With Windows 98 I could enter any length paper and it worked great.
Am I missing something incredibly obvious here, or is this a limitation of using AutoCad on XP (while using the search funtion on this site I found many complaints about ACad on XP). Is there a way to enter a custom page size without using the post-script custom page size?
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Bob
