- I manage to automatically plot an AutoCAD drawing last year and
- this is the solution:
-
- 1. Set the environment variable ACADPLCMD to:
- %setenv ACADPLCMD "lpr -P<printername> %s"
- 2. Configure AutoCAD plotter to be a Postscript Device.
- 3. Next configure the Plot Spooler directory to be the user's home
- directory ($HOME). Note that you can create a seperate spooling
- directory.
- 4. Choose the default plot file name to be AUTOSPOOL
- 5. Configure AutoCAD to plot to a file.
-
- For more info refer to Automatically Printing Spooler Plots pp104-107 in the
- autoCAD AutomaticThe AutoCAD Interface, Installation, and Performance Guide,
- for SUNS PARCstation Release 12.
-
- Please let me know if you have any further questions.
