Some time ago our college bought a Rolland DXY 88OA 8 pen plotterfor use on a CAD drawing and modelling program called Design Dimensions Version 1.8 ,later updated to Design version 2.(A product of Visual Information Inc.,California) The program runs from a Mac II. Since that time we have been unable to find a way to make the plotter fuction properly under this program,despite the fact it will plot under the same protocol conditions using the Versacad drafting package. We have tried a number of cable connections based on the diagrams in the plotter manual and standard Macintosh connections without sucess.We have also run the Dimensions package through a Mac Plot driver using both HP.and Roland settings. We do not want to have to transfer files over to Versacad which is,we have found a workable but long winded solution. Is there anyone out there who has had similar problems,and who might have hit on the right connections.
