I have the same problem again: HPGL/2 with HP-RTL-data, made with HP Designjet 755driver on AutoCAD 2002 and AutoCAD 2006, make long white areas over the drawing: 2002 on half of the drawing, 2006 on the whole drawing.

I will send you examples per e-mail.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for the files.
There is no bug. Your PLT files contain white images. That is why background must be white for files would be viewed correctly.

thanks for your answer.

But can you tell me why there are "white pictures" in the plotfile? The file size in Acad2006 is approx. 300 % of the file size in Acad 2002.

To give exact answer to this question we must test original source AutoCAD file, on the one hand and on the other hand we must know AutoCAD's logic when converting to PLT file format. It is obviously, that they would not hurry to share this information with the others.

In the meantime I found the reason of this behaviour:

Acad2006 has a bug when plotting raster files. Although all is set to "Black", the software produces grey-scaled raster files and that is the reason why the file size is so high.

If I change the "Raster print quality" in the PC3 file from 3 to 6 (max.), the plot is made as a Black file and decreases the file size to 30%.
