Subject: printing DWG file from progeCAD Professional: set paper size

progeCAD uses Windows print API, so there are a couple of options you have.
Are you willing to set the default paper size of this A3 printer to A3 using the Windows Control Panel? Because that is where progeCAD will get that default size from.
Here is another way: If you always print from progeCAD to an A3 sheet, you can select "Previous Print" instead of "" as the initial settings to define each new plotter job (from the top right of the dialog box). Then the last settings you used in the last sheet will populate all fields of the plot command box, including paper size.

Hi,
when I want to print my A3-layout on my A3-printer, I always have to set the paper format from A4 to A3. All other settings I made like "print style table", "center on page", "landscape" etc. progeCAD saves, so that I can use when I open the file again.
But every time I open the file, the paper size is A4, although the layout's dimensions are in A3. When I save and open the file with AutoCAD even the layout has the dimensions of A4.
How can I fix the paper size to A3?
M.

Hello. I see now what is happened. There seems to be two different algorithms for hatching in progeCAD (at least for the parametization).
I am guessing you experience this problem from the command line when using the "hatch" command.
We notice the problem disappears when we use the bhatch command instead (dialogue interface for associative hatching in progeCAD instead of the old style hatch command)
Please try the bhatch command and see if that works for you instead.

Properties allow to do the same, but with less productivity. I'd prefer ACAD's _ddedit too.

Hello,
Trying to solid hatch outline lettering. Straight letters such as L T OK. Curved letters such as O S are splined and not OK. AutoCAD seems to have a spline to pline converter. What options with ProgeCAD 2008 Pro?
Thanks very much.

Within the 'GOROUND' dialogue box there is an 'Options' tab.
When this Tab is selected the resultant page shows a series of
options one of which is :-
PART SURFACE PROGRAMMING (PSP)
If this option is selected then the original geometry path is output
with the relevant CRC supporting code (usually G41/G42 or RL in
the case of Heidenhain conversation codes).
The post processor can be modified to always output CRC codes
regardless of whether or not PSP is selected.
If you are using re-ground tools and wish to offset by the tool
variance then you would wish to output the Offset Path with CRC
codes.
NOTE :-
When PSP option is selected all Offsetting is carried out by the CNC
controller and the user is constrained by the rules of the controller.
e.g. Some controllers require an Approach move which is greater
than the diameter of the tool, this move is where the CRC is applied.
I know of a case where an 80mm dia tool was being used and the
Controller demanded a 98mm approach move to apply CRC.

Hi, I'm a new user of PartMaster Mill level 3. Is there any way to get toolpaths with cutter radius compensation (for expl. RL or RR (Haidenhain iTNC530) or G41 or G42 (ISO)) without pathoffset. If tooloffset is aktivated in PartMaster the toolpath is the aequidistance of the contour. Then the machinecontrol will offset the toolpath again. How can I fit this problem? In postprocessor or in Partmaster? Can you help me?
Thanks a lot!progeCAD and AutoCAD Forum :: RE: AutoCAD $5500

Hi,
I find some things about software being easy come down to what a person is used to. What difficulty are you having specifically? If your old files cause problems, we are more than willing to have a look at them (use the email shown HERE to send files). Have you tried any of the audit or recover file tools that progeCAD offers? What system do these come from?
