Example 2: Invalid Scale
The specified Scale is 1=48, and the specified paper Size is 36" x 24" (D1-size).
Along with the specified paper Size, the software displays:
Along with the specified paper Size, the software displays:
•
Presumed image dimensions: 9" x 6" (nonstandard)
•
Alternate scale string: 1=12 (standard AutoCAD scale)
Because the alternate scale string reflects an industry standard, but the presumed
image dimensions do not, it is likely that the specified natural paper Size is correct
and the specified Scale should be changed to 1=12 to match the alternate scale
string. This is further confirmed if 1=12 is the specified Scale for other images in
the project.
image dimensions do not, it is likely that the specified natural paper Size is correct
and the specified Scale should be changed to 1=12 to match the alternate scale
string. This is further confirmed if 1=12 is the specified Scale for other images in
the project.
Example 3: Inaccurate Image Dimensions
The specified Scale is 1=12, and the specified natural paper Size is 36" x 24" (D1).
Along with the specified paper Size, the software displays:
Along with the specified paper Size, the software displays:
•
Presumed image dimensions: 36" x 39" (nonstandard)
•
Alternate scale string: 1=19.5 (nonstandard)
In this example, neither the alternate scale string or the presumed image
dimensions reflect an industry standard, so it is likely that both the specified Scale
and paper Size are correct. (This is further confirmed if the specified Scale and
Size match the parameters for other images in the project.) With this information,
the attendant can logically assume that the presumed image dimensions are not the
actual image dimensions. Since PlotWorks determines the actual dimensions
when the file is vectorized, and the parameters appear to be correct, the attendant
can choose the option to Print Anyway.

If the parameters match after vectorization, a valid print is produced. If the actual
image dimensions do not fit the specified natural paper Size, the software will
issue a Warning and provide options. Changes made in the Viewer during
processing are not saved.

Printing with AutoCAD using Network Polling Mode 1
The processing of AutoCAD drawing files (DWGs) is unique because of the need
to specify an AutoCAD scale. Since both AutoCAD scale and paper size (SIZE)
are specified in PlotWorks, they must be consistent or an error will occur,
producing either a clipped or undersized print.

Since Network Polling Mode 1 is a noninteractive submission mode, the creator
cannot easily communicate the desired scale to the printer operator. Network
Polling Mode 1 entails the copying of image files to a specified directory and
subsequent printing of files according to the parameters of that directory.
