ViewPlot is a GRAPHICAL plot manager which will handle all your CAD
plotting needs, even if you use different CAD packages or many different
plotters.  It gives you the ability to view, on screen, your plotted
CAD drawings before sending them to the plotter.  See, on screen, what 
the final plotted drawing will look like before it is plotted.  You no 
longer need to plot a drawing only to find out it wasn't what you wanted.

ViewPlot allows long axis drawings to be plotted.  You will see your long 
axis drawings, on screen, exactly as they will be plotted.  Make plots as 
long as your plotter can handle and be assured they will turn out exactly
as you see them with ViewPlot.

ViewPlot handles batch processing of drawing files.  No longer do you need 
to plot one drawing at a time.  With ViewPlot, you can setup and prepare
up to 50 sheets (each sheet can have 10 drawings) to be AUTOMATICALLY sent
to your plotter.  If your plotter has roll feed capability, each time a
sheet is completed, the plotter will advance the paper and begin the next
sheet.

The Windows version of ViewPlot allows you to start up a plotting session
and switch it to the background, then you can continue to work with your CAD
software while the drawing is being plotted. 

ViewPlot handles communication to the plotter over serial as well as 
parallel lines (for maximum plotting speed).  If using a serial line, you 
can connect at a baud rate up to 38400 and use HARDWIRE or XON/XOFF 
handshaking.

ViewPlot supports output to Amdek, DM/PL, HPGL, HPGL2 or PCI/907 (Calcomp).
All Hewlett Packard, Houston Instruments and all compatible plotters (which 
comprises most of the plotters being used) can be used with the program.  
Houston Instruments plotters use DM/PL plotter codes (some HI plotters use 
HPGL) and Calcomp plotters use 907/PCI codes (newer Calcomp plotters use 
HPGL).  If you aren't sure if your plotter is supported, call EROBIS 
Software and we will advise if your plotter is supported or when it will 
be supported.

All features in ViewPlot are configurable to your particular plotter, 
computer and personal preferences.  You can quickly change any configuration 
setting within the program.  No need to exit, change a setting then restart 
the program.


Current pricing is $95.00 which includes DOS and Windows versions.
