You can configure drivers for different file types including, Adobe PostScript and raster file formats.
With ePlot, you can generate electronic drawing files that are optimized for either plotting or viewing. The files you create are stored in Design Web Format (DWF). DWF files can be opened, viewed, and plotted using one of the many available DWF viewers and plug-ins created for Microsoft ® Internet Explorer 5.01 or later. You can also install a plug-in for the Mozilla ® Firefox ® and Google Chrome™ for the Windows ® operating system. DWF files support real-time panning and zooming and the display of layers and named views.
The nonsystem PDF driver that comes with the program allows you to create PDF files that can be viewed online using a Web browser plug-in or offline using a program like Adobe ® Acrobat ® . You can also use virtualized printers that are setup in the operating system and can be used by other applications to create a PDF file of a drawing. Like PDF files created from other applications, PDF files containing the results of the output when printing or plotting a drawing can be merged with other PDF files using additional software programs to create a complete electronic package for a client.
PostScript files can be generated from the geometry of a drawing file. Three levels of PostScript are supported. Level 1 works with most devices but does not support color images and produces larger plot files than the newer PostScript levels. Level 1 Plus is for Level 1 devices that also support color images. Level 2 is for newer printers and produces smaller files and faster output on Level 2 devices.
The program also supports PostScript printers and plotters using a Centronics-type parallel I/O port, an RS-232C serial I/O port, or plotting across a network.
DXB (drawing interchange binary) file formats are supported using the AutoCAD DXB nonsystem file driver.
The output is compatible with the ADI DXB driver delivered with earlier releases. The DXB driver shares the following limitations of the ADI driver:
Drawings can be output to a raster image such as PNG or JPEG. The program ships with several pre-configured raster file drivers that you can use.
