Configuration for AutoCAD 13/14 via configuration tool
If you have deactivated during installation the check box for the start of the configuration tool in step 9, start the
configuration tool now via "Start - Programs - RW-7140 - RW-7140 - RW-7140 PLOTCLIENT HDI ADI - Config" and
enter the following settings:
•
Select Program
Select PLOTCLIENT WIN, from which you wish to send your print jobs to PLOTBASE for printing. If you use the HDI/ADI
Client, your presets always only apply for the current print job. If you take PLOTCLIENT WIN, you can add several other
print jobs to your current print job and have the same presets for all.
•
Select AutoCAD version
If you work with one of the two AutoCAD versions R13 or R14, inform PLOTCLIENT WIN which Version you use.

Configuration

If AutoCAD 13 has not been installed with the standard paths, inform PLOTCLIENT WIN the two paths in which the
configuration file "ACADNT.cfg" and initialization file "ACAD.ini" are. For AutoCAD 14 no settings are required.
After you have entered the settings in the configuration tool, you now only have to set up your new printer driver and
enter the final presets in the print dialog of AutoCAD. You can then start printing.
