I know this should probably be in the new computers bit but I need an answer sharpish and I'll probably get a larger audiance here
A customer has sent us a CD with some .plt drawing files on it for us to plot and then quote for, only thing is no one here has any idea how to plot them
Any one got any ideas

That gives me bad command or file name, think I've got to change directory to D, then a sub directory called drawings

Downloaded viewcomp and it prints out with 'Evaluation Copy' over the draing in big bold letters
Tryed the DOS stuff, the cd wirrs, and the A4 printer fires a blank page through it, the plotter just sits there looking at me

Cheers chaps, and Mrsd currently plotting them out via Viewcomp, got them big enough so the 'Evaluation copy' doesn't cause us to many problems at the quote stage, must get back to it as I can't go home till it's done
