How to print from AutoCAD

In this how-to we show you how easy it is to send your AutoCAD data to your Trotec laser machine.

Step 1: Set line weight and color

Use RGB colors (the same like in the JobControl® material database)

For Trotec Lasers cutting line must be 0.001 mm - in AutoCAD 0.00 mm

Click on the printing symbol and the printer dialog window will open. Choose plotter "Trotec Engraver v. xx.x.x" and click on "Properties...".

Click on "Custom Properties" in the Plotter Configuration Editor.

Set the size (width and height must be higher than the graphic size)
Mark "Minimize to Jobsize" if you want to print the graphic without any blank area.
Click the JobControl^® logo button to print

The Plotter Configuration Editor will appear, click on "OK" to proceed.

Create a temporary PC3 file to apply to this plot only: The printer configuration will be saved only for this print.
Save changes to the following file: The printer configuration can be saved, to use it the next time again. Click on "OK" to proceed.

Choose the plot area:
- Display: The actual visible area is getting printed.
- Extents: All graphics getting printed.
- Window: Choose the area which shall be printed.
Mind the plot scale 1:1
Center the plot if necessary
To send the job data to JobControl^® click OK
