In a CAD production plotting environment, PlotStation offers time- and money-saving features. It allows offloading CAD plot processing from individual CAD workstations and centralise batch plotting activities on the network with a dedicated plot server.
It's an open systems batch plotting solution, supporting more printers, plotters, networks and large format engineering document inputs than any other product - the ideal choice in a mixed CAD, mixed plotter environment.
Key Features
- Save time by plotting without launching the CAD application
- Save resources by offloading CAD and engineering document plotting to the network
- Monitor PlotStation queues and pause, resume, or delete jobs if necessary - ideal in rush job situations or redirecting traffic if a printer/plotter is down
- Track accounting data
- Apply project plotting standards through plot-time re-symbolisation
- Reuse plot file definitions
- Completely consistent with CAD package outputs, including MicroStation, AutoCAD, SolidWorks and many more
Plot Station® Server's queuing tools allow the administrator (or anyone else with privileges) to move those already submitted files to an lternate device. Queues can be paused or scheduled to run at specific times to maximize performance.
Centralized symbology tables allow the administrator to control the level of drawing standards enforcement. You can maintain consistent-looking output from all your offices. And a single set of configuration files can be used by multiple Plot Station® Servers, allowing load balancing and redundancy.
