I know about Autocads batch plot, but if I do a plot to file how do I send them to the plotter? I have an HP designjet 500. I know it can be done, but always had IT people set it up so I kinda of took it for granted. Now I need to know how. Any help would be appreciated. ~JNJ~

This is a simple free tool, that "send" the file to the Windows Ploetter. It has an HPGL2 Analyser build in, that give you some information about the HPGL2 file (Saved papersize, quality mode, resolution..)

You can use the DOS command
copy /b plotfile.plt LPT1: or type plotfile.plt>LPT1:
Instead of LPT1: you can use also another device name (e.g. COM1: or COM2: depending on your hardware configuration) and also you can use a plotter name in the net. (//servername/plottername).
