Summary: Speed Up Printing AUTOCAD Files To PostScript Printers, C source
Approved: dhesi@bsu-cs.UUCP
I wrote this program a while back. AutoCad plot files produced for
PostScript printers are quite inefficient, so I wrote a quick filter to
speed things up. The resulting plot files are 22% smaller and 22%
faster to print. If you are printing directly to a PostScript printer
from a PC, it might not save you anything to print the plot file to
disk then filter it, but if you are sharing a PostScript printer over a
network, or printing AutoCad plot files from a UNIX system (as we are)
you might find some useful way to use this program.
I offered it to AutoDesk, as an example of how to improve their
PostScript driver, suggesting that they pay me what it was worth to
them (I suggested something around $100). I guess they decided it
wasn't worth a hundred bucks to save their customers time, because they
never pursued it.
There are two files, an include file called "stdmacro.h", and a C file
called "autocad.c".
