To plot in a Windows environment, AVEVA recommend that you use the plotcadc.bat file supplied in the AVEVA E3D Design folder.
Note:
You may have to modify the plotcadc.bat file to suit your local printer installation.
The Network Plotter must be mapped using the NET USE command. Refer to the network documentation for further information.
To run the plotcadc.bat file, give a command in the format:
C:\Program Files\AVEVA\E3D Design XX\plotcadc.bat plotfile format printer options
Where options are the AVEVA PLOT utility options, and may be omitted.
Note:
The options must be enclosed in quotes.
Example
plotcadc.bat c:\E3DesignXX\plot1 ps \\ntserver\NTPostScript
plotcadc.bat c:\E3DXX\plot1 hpgl \\ntserver\NThpgl 'CE=Y'
