Problem

Symptoms: Text in a plotter file converts to WP too large. The user created an HPGL file in ORCAD 4.04 using the generic HP plotter device (PLOTALL.EXE) that shipped with ORCAD. When the user imported the .PLT file into WP 6.0, the text portions of the image were too large and extended out of the box areas created within the image. Since there is no font information stored in .PLT files, why did the size of the text change? Solutions: According to Development, WP is working as designed (on both platforms). When the file in question is plotted to the HP 7580 plotter, which 6.0- level products support, the text in question extends beyond the boxes and appears larger than "desired." The image plots just as it appears in WP and the conversion is, therefore, correct. If users would like the text to be smaller, they can run the file through the GRAPHCNV.EXE utility using the /W option before importing it into WP.
