Revision 12 Classic plotting

[bfisher]

There is definitely some nicer functionality with the new Rev 12, but I miss being able to use the MEPrint macro that made plotting in a Windows OS so much easier. With 12 it seems I can only control the printer/plotter by using the GDI Setup everytime the configuration changes. I've fiddled with "plotdefs.m" and "defaults.m" to no avail. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Non so se posso esserti di aiuto .. io non ho mai usato MePrint. Uso una macro creata da me che mi setta le stampanti con il comando :
PLOTTER_TYPE 'nome_stampate'
WIN_PRT_MGR PAPER 'A4' ORIENTATION PORTRAIT COPIES 1 END

....

I do not know if I can I am you of aid. I have not never used MePrint. Use one macro created from me that me schism printing with the command:
PLOTTER_TYPE ' print_name'
WIN_PRT_MGR PAPER ' A4 ' ORIENTATION PORTRAIT COPIES 1 END

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but you might look in the Technical Appendix (file "appendix.htm" under the main Drafting install folder). The Configuring Plotting section contains some information that may help. The examples near the bottom of this section for the "customize_p.m" file list some commands that can also be used in Drafting startup files and macros to setup Windows printing. The attached file is our customize_p.m template which contains several comments and example commands that may help as well.

Thanks Andrea and John. That was exactly the info I was looking for but couldn't locate. I knew there was something like this available in Rev. 11 on, but since we hadn't migrated from 10.x yet the MEPrint macro was working fine. Thanks again.
