I have an RS/6000 running IBM AIX 4.2 with 128 meg of memory. I am running AutoCAD R13_C4 on this computer. I have a plotter configured using the Standard postscript driver supplied with AutoCAD. I have one drawing approx 80k (approx 1600 enitities) in size that takes 13 minutes to plot to a file. Why ? All of my other drawings are approx the same size and take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes to plot. There is nothing special about this drawing. It contains some text, lines, plines. No hatches, dimensions. All of the text in the drawing is using the TXT font file. Why does this drawing take so long to plot ?Return to Top

Simply add the (load "filename") statements to your ACAD.LSP file. If one does not exist, create it in youe SUPPORT directory. Regards, Ian A.

I need to change the Text Size of Attribute Tags for about 1000 blocks. Is there an easy way to do this with a global command (lisp program)? I have looked for a lisp routine, but haven't found anything. Using Acad r13 c4, NT 3.51. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
