    "Unknown Error Code 61185"

    I ALSO noticed this web page for OCE plotter drivers for use with AutoCAD: http://tss.oceusa.com/Drivers/autocad.htm I would also point out that rebooting after a driver install or update is always helpful to ensure your changes have taken affect.

    "Unknown Error Code 61185"

    How did you install the OCE plotter? I am pretty sure that Win2000 doesn't have the proper drivers for OCE plotters for plotting from AutoCAD, so you need to download the driver files directly from OCE. If I remeber correctly it was a three part process, run the OCE file, go to the windows...

    AutoCAD 2002 -> conversion -> Xenetech Computerized Engraving Systems

    If the file only contains a reference that tells any program using that .dxf file that it must look in the Windows system fonts directory for details on how to display or print the font. Then why can it not find the Arial font? The Arial font is standard on all Windows-based systems and, along...

    AutoCAD units

    I am still having problems with this entire concept of scaling to convert measurement systems. If I draw a rectangle in AutoCAD 2002 of size 11" by 7" and then convert it into millimeters (according to the above) it must be scaled up by a factor of 25.4. I now import my text blocks...

    AutoCAD units

    I have been told that AutoCAD 2002 is a unitless system, that is to say one drawing unit could equal one inch, one millimeter, one mile, one lightyear, etc..... Is this true? If so, please explain. If not, can you tell me how to locate what measurment system the drawing is in and how to...

    Fatal Error when using HP deskjet 1220c as plotter

    If you are using any of the AutoCAD 2002 series -> they have just released Service Pack 1, so you might want to update. Fixed many problems for me. NOTE: The original CD must be in the drive when you update.
