    I recently purchased a new HP430...only b/w for about $2100. Base unit ran $1365 that's no roll feed or stand. You can upgrade to color if needed. I only use black ink. Have had not much luck with Encad holding up. The HP500 has color and you need add-on driver package for AutoCAD. The 430...

    Named Views Error

    When in model space I use zoom extents to view the image in there. Generally, I choose the pulldown for iso view to see if anything is drawn in 3D. Once satisfied, then I pick the top view icon to return the image in a flat plan view. I use that in stead of view previous. What occurs is a...
