Hi everyone,

I have some plotting issues as well. Large prints we don't plot in-
house - we send them out to a print service as a plt-file.

But most of the time something doesn't work exactly the way I want
it - and so when the print gets out of the machine at the print
service it's often too late to change anything.

Here is my question: Is there a tool or program to view those plt-
files before I send them out? Or even something for free to download?

And there is another problem - I can't explain. It doesn't happen on
our small printer in the office but on the larger plotters such as
the HP 1050: It prints text written in model space outside of the
viewport - and it only happens with text. Is there a reasonable
explanation for this?

Thanks for your help,
Markus.
