Hi, Rather than the DXF format is it possible to export a Templot plan as a PDF file? Also how do you go about calibrating a virtual printer? Regards Duncan |

This works very well under Windows with one of the many PDF generators available -- Win2PDF is recommended. It's free if you don't mind an extra page added to every print run: http://www.win2pdf.com It's important when printing such plans via Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader to set the page scaling to "None". In the next upgrade version (free to existing users) Templot will be able to create PDF files natively, and you won't then need the virtual printer. This will also make it easier to create large PDF plans suitable for printing on a wide-format roll paper printer. Also how do you go about calibrating a virtual printer?Virtual printers appear in the Windows printers list like any other, so you can set the calibration details for them in Templot in exactly the same way as for other printers. To obtain the calibration data, create PDF files for the calibration test sheets and print them on your intended printer using Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader. Calibrated PDF files should be printed only on the printer for which you calibrated them. If you intend to use other printers or share the PDF files with friends please create them uncalibrated. Otherwise they are likely to end up inaccurate when printed. regards, Martin. |
