Do you have a Credit Application? Do you deliver/pick up? What is your delivery area? How can I send files electronically to TreeTowns? 1. You can email us the file(s) at treetowns@treetowns.com. 2. You can upload files to our FTP site. Please call Tom Armstrong to obtain a user name and password. What file format do you accept? What resolution should my images be for best output? Will I see a proof? Should I mount or laminate my print? How do I create plot files in AutoCAD? 1. Price Savings – Tree Towns charges $5.00 per file to create a plot file. 2. Speed and Accuracy – You know the fonts, xrefs and line weights that go with your file. When you create the plot file all those attributes are saved within your file. If Tree Towns processes your AutoCAD file without all this information, we may plot your file incorrectly or take valuable time trying to set this information. Setting up the Plot Driver 1. Make sure AutoCAD is running. At the command prompt at the bottom of the screen type in CONFIG and hit enter. 2. This will bring up the OPTIONS window. Under the PLOTTER tab select “Add a Plotter” and enter. 3. Select “Add a Plotter” wizard, select next and choose “My Computer”. 4. Select HP DesignJet 750C PlusC47088.pc3 and enter. 5. You can import plotter specific information at this step or proceed to the next screen. 6. Choose “Plot to File”, and enter. 7. After answering these questions you will return to the OPTIONS window where you will see that the HP DESIGN JET 750C has been added to the list of available plotters. Click on OK and return to your AutoCAD screen. How to Create the Plot File 1. Under the PLOT tab choose the HP750C or VIC32 you have just created. 2. Under PLOT DEVICES choose PLOT TO FILE. Choose how you will be plotting (i.e. DISPLAY, EXTENTS, WINDOWS, etc.). Click on File Name and pick the destination for your plot file (i.e. A:,C:, etc.). 3. Under PAPER SIZE and ORIENTATION click on the SIZE button and select the paper size. If you do not see a size that works for you, you can create a custom paper size in the PROPERTIES area (i.e. 24 x 36). 4. Under the PLOT SETTINGS TAB choose the SCALE, ROTATION, ORIGIN and your drawing scale. 5. Lastly, we recommend that you do a full preview. This will show you just how your drawing will look in the paper size you have selected. Click on the OK button and your plot file is created. |
