NX3 PDF Plotting

[jackley]

I know this has been discussed over and over again. But I am having troubles with it.

From the GTAC BBS, (Thread "NX3 Plotting to PDF") I followed the instructions, but I can't figure out how to rotate it. It's always showing up 90 degrees.

I am using Adobe Elements/Distiller. I set up a .bat file to copy the .cgm to a certain directory as a .ps. I then just convert it to a PDF via right clicking on it.

I have the init files set up in the plotter configuration for each drawing size.

I'd offer more advice Justin, but I always output from the main plot dialogue to a .ps file, then used Ghostscript/Ghostview to open the PS file and rotate it manually if needed. Yeah, a pain, but for no more drawings than I was dealing with, not a big deal.

I think by plotting from the Plot Dialog, I could force the .ps file to be the correct orientation in many cases. Been too long since I've used NX3.
