Plotting from Cadence composer

archive
archive over 15 years ago
I am trying to plot from the composer window using the Design>Plot>Submit> Plot to file option, but am not having any success. I get a couple of messages - No Plotters unknown plotter - No Size is not a a valid paper size for No Plotters I do not have any choices in the Plotter Name and Paper Size options. I used the following .cdsplotinit file in my home directory (as well as the .cdsplotinit that came with the installation). Can anyone tell me what is going on.
