PlotPro

Ringdales PlotPro makes network plotting easy by allowing users to customise and automate the output of documents. Spooling, accounting, and other plot management features, combined with the popular Windows interface style, makes PlotPro simple to use. PlotPro works either as a stand-alone program or as a client/server application with the server running on a Windows NT system and the client running on networked workstations.

An ideal utility for AutoCAD users, PlotPro allows direct previewing and plotting of DWG and DXF files (including all X-references) for AutoCAD 12, 13, and 14 (up to 4.2 specification) to a variety of output devices. Plot customisation features include scaling, rotation and pen weight selection. User accounts are maintained by PlotPro in a file on the Windows NT server so that the organisation can distribute the cost of printing to the specific department and users of the facilities.

Users can also create banners (information tags printed in the margins of documents), perform batch plotting (plotting of job sets) and can also electronically collate the jobs.

By acting as a Windows DDE server, PlotPro can be accessed from many popular Windows document management and database packages.
