Plotter and Digitizer Drivers: |
All major plotters, printers and digitizers can be
driven directly from ArchiCAD and PlotMaker, including Benson, Hewlett-Packard,
Calcomp, OCE, Graphtec, Houston, EnCad, Roland, Summagraphics, Selex, Texas Instruments, Mutoh,
Mimaki, Versatec, Xerox and Wacom. No additional software is
required. | |
| (*) Note: | ArchiCAD 7.0 can run on a display with a resolution of 640x480 pixels / 16 color (sometimes it has to be started in VGA Mode for verification purposes) but some dialog boxes do not fit on the screen, thus making the proper usage of the program impossible. | |
