Batch Plotting, Plot stamping & Billing!
Plot2000 is a Plot Automation and billing solution for AutoCAD 2000- 2007! Plot2000 speeds up the plotting process by eliminating the need to interact with the AutoCAD Plot command.
Employees use macros or the Plot2000 Pull-down menu to quickly generate plots with pre-set values, and these macros can be shared on the network. The time required to generate a plot is reduced to seconds.
Features Intelligent Batch Plotting!
Pick and choose capability: Billing, Batch Plotting, Plot Stamping for Autocad …. all included features that can be turned on if desired in your environment.
Network Compatible: The Plot2000 Dynamic Menu and configuration file can be located on your network so that all your employees have access to creating the same fast, consistent Plots! The menu above is an actual screenshot from a multi-office firm using Plot2000.
Supports Plot size Plot Media: Each Plotter has Full and half-size options, plus a few different media types (Bond and Vellum) for a multi-roll plotter. This is a real-world example of a fairly complex Plot2000 installation.
Automates Job tracking Plot2000 comes with a block that can be used to annotate your plots with job number and other information including filename, date, and time. If you already have a plot stamp that includes a job number attribute, Plot2000 can use this in conjunction with the billing feature.
Automate Your Plotting Tasks!
Auto Sheet Mode: All plot settings, such as “Auto” sheet size mode, are automated intelligently. Plot2000 also automatically sets portrait or landscape output mode as required to rotate your plot to fit on the paper properly. In “Auto” mode, Plot2000 can save you paper by selecting the smallest sheet size available that your drawing will fit on.
Intelligent Plot Scaling: dimscale, half dimscale, and fixed scale options are available. Plotting and plot scaling works intelligently from model space or paper space.
Supports Multiple Tab Settings: Batch plotting supports plotting individual layout tabs, all tabs, and special “non plotting” tabs.
Collate in Forward and Reverse: plot collating, sorted by filename and layout tab name during batch plotting can be enabled for specific plotters.
