Hello all,

In our office we are having an issue with some users creating PLT files that cause our Kip 7000 to spit out a small sheet with an error message reading bad Vector File. We are using a plotter set up in AutoCAD 2007 using the XES systems - Synergix 8850 driver (version 11.0.3 - 9.0.54 [U5-1]. Can anyone offer any advice on what we can do to solve this? Please let me know if I need to provide any further info.

Thanks

• A .pdf, ps, or .eps file has been submitted to the KIP Controller, and the Powerscript³ hardware
key (a.k.a. “dongle”) has not been installed on the Controller’s parallel port.
• There is an invalid switch in the AddHpglCmd= line in the winuntd.ini. For example, the –D switch
requires a numerical value after it, such as –D 300. But this switch might be displayed in
documentation as –D #, assuming that the pound sign is a numerical variable. If you literally
added –D # to the AddHpglCmd= line, this error will occur.
• The file type is unknown, and the program is trying to convert it with default vector settings,
because the DefaultFileType=V. However, the file may not contain vector data, or is truly invalid.
This error might only occur if mad.exe has not been defined in the winuntd.ini
• Verify that the Mfiles are current.

You are using a xerox driver to create the PLT file.... Try using a KIP driver and see if that fixes your issue.
