Shaan,
I’m looking for the Heidi Autocad 2010 driver for the HP T1200 plotter. Searching through the HP and Autodesk’s website are not succesful.
AutoCAD 1.4 is the version I first started using. And I started out editing instead of drawing since the engineers in my company had already used the command scripts to draw files of pot hole locations in highways using a ground penetrating radar. Additional information was to be added to the files – mostly text and some defined blocks. That became my task and so I learned AutoCAD editing first and drawing later. I loved this program from the very start!
