We have an hp designjet 500 and I talked with gtac and they had to give me a couple different .dat files to get it to plot from ug. The problem is it plots really slow. A 36 x 60 sheet took 42.5 minutes in ug. A 2-d exchange of same drawing plotted in 4.5 minutes from Autocad. It looks like each pass is much smaller in ug than in Autocad. Anyone know how to make it faster? The drawings are just line drawings. Thanks
