This application can represent all supported input formats of M-Plot, also PDF and HP-GL. This allows checking geometry very quickly. M-Plot Preview can be started as an own application like also from M-Plot.

M-Plot Print

With M-Plot Print the formats are converted into the desired output format. M-Plot Print is the heart of M-Plot and is started from all M-Plot Suite applications. The initial settings can be set with the help of a parameter file centrally or especially for a user.

     

     

   

M-Plot Setup

All settings for M-Plot Print are adjustable with M-Plot Setup. Here you define new filters, determine the output devices and create new stamps. All information is summarized in one single file.

   

M-Plot Batch

If automation shall be carried out, the perfect application will be M-Plot Batch. All formats inclusive components of Unigraphics™ can be converted without any user action. Whole directories can be printed so quickly or combined into one single file.

• A print solution for many different CAX systems
• Independent of the drivers of the hardware manufacturer

Input and Output formats

M-Plot Suite can read many different formats and change these into a new output format. The content of the input is first searched for the available paper sizes, the number of pages as well as the smallest measurements of the individual pages. This information is very valuable for the output. They allow the optimal setting, dependent the pre-selection the chosen output format anyway.

Providing output with stamp

Would you like to provide your documents with additional information? Shall these be stamped if the user prints the document? Exactly this is now offered by M-Plot Suite! You can simply and comfortably provide all outputs with different texts as well as pictures and/or graphics.

You decide whether a stamp lies behind or before the drawing. M-Plot still goes on a step further, you can define different stamps of your own for every format size (A4, A3 etc.). All together produces then one main stamp. These stamps can be determined by the user or pre-designated by the administrator at the output.
