	I have a drawing that was origionally from Drafix plus. It was 
imported into Ultra and then into Drafix for windows.  I have the following
problems.
	
	1)  When I zoom in and plot to file a screen view Drafix will
crop some of the lines but not all of them.  When I place the drawing
in word for windows the HPGL drawing is scaled so all the exteranous
lines are in the box I created in word.

	2)  When I print on a postscript printer about 10% of the
drawing is in low resolution. I guess about 75 Dots per inch.  Solid
lines are a string of small dots.  Notes are almost unreadable.

	3)  When I print using PCL or postscript the the notes imported
from ultra have the lines reversed.  Line two is above line one, line
three is above line two.  The screen display is normal.

	4)  When I export the drawing and use dot plotter the notes are ok
but the printer passes do not match.  Part of the drawing is missing
between each pass.

When I called about the dot plotter problem about a year ago I was
told that all the programmers were busy with window CAD and no one
could help me.  When I called about the postscript problem I was told
that they didn't have a postscript printer and couldn't help me if 
they couldn't duplicate the problem. With out a printer they couldn't
duplicate the problem.
