Question about extremely long wait for a large format plot. E.g. 1+ hour. This "format" isn't our norm e.g. large format, but for say a design review, I need to spit out a plot but currently I need to do this hours, days before hand?
Goal:
I want a 1:1 plot of an assy from the assy window in HLR wireframe, color. "D size plot size"
Specifics:
- Plotter model is a HP Designjet 1050C.
- Network is 100MB switched
- Workstations are all top of the line with XP pro
- All cad data is on Win2k servers
- Using SW 03 sp5.1 (same results on 2004 sp2.1)
- Plotting to a laser jet 8000 is "instant", basically no delay? Plotter is a different story
- I am plotting from a SW assy window and not a drawing. I am in a top view, hidden line displaying color (want the print in HLR color. E.g. use component color in HLR/HLV option is selected from the View pull down)
- Assy is fairly large - about 2000 parts
Any thoughts, comments suggestions?
Thanks.
