1. While in your drawing, click on the “Plot” button to bring up the plot
screen
2. In the plot device tab, select a HPGL/2 plotter. If one is not available,
you need to install an HPGL/2 plotter in AutoCAD. (The HP750Cplus is
a common plotter and the drivers are included in AutoCAD)
3. You will need to set your page settings in the Plot Settings tab
4. Select the appropriate page size, and make sure your pen tables (if
applicable) have been loaded as monochrome
5. Check to make sure your scale has been set, and that your drawing
fits on the page the way you want it to, by doing a “full preview”
6. In the plot device tab, you will need to select the “Plot to file”
checkbox and make sure you will be writing the file to the appropriate
directory
7. Give the file a name and click the “0K” button. This process will
generate a file with a “.plt” file extension
