Exporting Information From Freelance Plus 3.0 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The default export format from Freelance Plus 3.01 is DRW; this format is not compatible with WP. The only other default export option within Freelance is CGM. To export a CGM file, the user just selects File Export from the menu. To export in the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format, the user can follow the instructions given in the "Getting Started" manual provided with the Freelance Plus 3.01 package. The HPGL export option is not documented, but files can be exported in the HPGL format by following the steps outlined below. How to export HPGL files from Freelance Plus 3.01: (This process is not documented in the Freelance Plus Documentation and so is probably not officially supported by Freelance support. Users should not have any problems as this process works with all Freelance drawings and charts with one exception, if they have included a scanned TIFF image into their drawing. This is because HP plotters do not know how to interpret TIFF data.) 1. Start Freelance Plus. 2. Choose [Device and Font Setup] from the main menu. 3. Check to see if the HP 7475A plotter is listed under the graphic output devices that are currently installed. If it is listed then choose [Quit] from the menu bar on the top of the screen and go to step 4. If is not listed then do the following: a. Choose [Install-Devices] from the menu bar at the top of the screen. b. If there are already four devices listed, then one of them must be replaced. c. Place the cursor on the line containing the device to be replaced and press the Space Bar; a list of available devices will then be displayed. d. Scroll down the list and highlight HP 7475A and press Enter. This will put the HP definition on the line where the cursor was replacing the old device. * NOTE * THE PROGRAM MAY PROMPT FOR A DRIVER DISK TO BE INSERTED f. Move the cursor to [Done] and press Enter. g. Select [Yes] from the menu bar at the top of the screen to confirm the change. h. Select [Quit] and [Yes] from the menu bar at the top of the screen to confirm End Session and return to the Freelance Plus 3.01 main menu. 4. Choose [Chart and Drawings] from the main menu. 5. From the menu bar at the top of the screen, choose [Print] then choose [Options]. 6. Check Device: it should show HP 7475A. If it does not, press Enter, highlight HP 7475A and press Enter. 7. Move to Output mode: and press Enter. 8. Highlight File and press Enter. (You can also specify a path and file name at this time if desired). 9. This step is needed only if you are working with a color image. Move down to [Change Solid Colors to Fills for Output] and press Enter. Highlight Yes and press Enter. You can then select which fill pattern to use for each color by selecting the [Color to Fill] option. 10. Move down to Done and press Enter. This will return you to the drawing screen. The menu bar on the right side of the screen should show the active printer to be HP 7475A. 11. To output the image, select [Print] from the menu bar at the top of the screen and select [Go]. The result is that an HPGL file will be created. The file can then be imported into WP. |
