Summary
In this chapter you explored several topics specific to plotting. This is one area in which Auto-CAD 2000 and later versions are vastly different from previous versions. In AutoCAD 2000 and higher, Autodesk added a lot of plotting power, and when you’re programming your plotting applications, the use of plot configuration files can reduce the amount of hard coding required by taking advantage of the features built into the AutoCAD product. Some differences exist between AutoCAD 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2006 as far as programmatic capabilities with respect to plotting and plot configuration management, be sure to refer to the appropriate documentation for your platform.
