PRODUCING CFG FILES
RW-470 37
Producing CFG files
This chapter explains the CFG file structure and commands.
CFG files are usually produced normally automatically and are
sent with the corresponding drawing files to the RW-470
PLOTBASE. They contain the settings for the print off.
You can use the CFG commands explained in this chapter to
produce your own CFG file. To do this, you only need a simple
text editor. Save the file when ready as <Filename>.cfg.
The CFG file and the drawing file must have the same name.
Example files: tiger.cfg, tiger.tif. Copy this CFG file together with
the drawing file in the spool directory (e.g. C:\spool\cfg) of the
RW-470 PLOTBASE. Always send the CFG files first, then the
drawing files. Otherwise there is a risk that the drawing file is
automatically processed and plotted, before the actual print set-
tings in the CFG file are available.
A CFG file could be constructed as follows:
