Plotting a Metric drawing using Iplot English units

Hi,


Hope someone can help me with this one. I'm trying to plot a metric drawing that was done in V7 using Iplot setting files in V8. The problem I have is my weights and line styles are coming out too big because of the conversion from Metric units to English units. I know it a long shot but has anyone every made a Iplot setting file using metric working units or If you know of another way to fix this problem using English working units.


Any Information would be helpful,
Tom

  •  dont use  iplot...

    if you haven't  converted the  drawing to imperial units  try using that attached  printer.plt its set for  metric

    then use  your windows system printer to set the paper and scale etc

    I suggest you measure the  paper boundary  size to determine the  best  size sheet to print to  first...

    it would  pay you to rename the attached file to metricprinter.plt
