Has anyone sucessfully produced a postscript or plotter compatible
plot file from a viewdraw schematic. I have been trying desperately
for weeks but have been unsucessfull. When I try plotting from inside
viewdraw I get the error message "Placer: Plotter can't open pcf". I
then tried producing the plot files by hand by calling plotter myself,
this only produces a 2K postscript files (mostly headers and
formatting info). The meta file seems to be ok, it just wont produce
sensible postscipt or HP plotter output.

Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks,
Trevor.
