Summary:

The following are instructions for exporting an HPGL print file from Lotus Freelance Plus versions 3.00 and 3.01. Lotus Freelance Plus versions 2.00, 2.01, 3.00, and 3.01 all have this ability; however, menu options and subsequent steps for exporting an HPGL print file from Freelance Plus versions 2.x may differ slightly from those instructions referred to below.

Steps for exporting an HPGL print file from Freelance Plus:

  In the Charts and Drawings module, choose Options from the Print menu and enter the following information:   In the Device field, press the SPACEBAR to view device options, and select HP 7475A. Note: Freelance Plus can have up to five output devices installed at once. If an option is not visible for the HP 7475A, see the information on installing devices in the Freelance Plus reference manual.   In the Read Options From field, select Current Settings if composing an image that has not yet been saved to disk, or choose Saved File if the current settings for the file to be exported have already been saved to disk.   In the Output Mode field, press the SPACEBAR to view output options, and select File.   In the File Path field, enter the desired destination of the print file.   In the File Name field, enter the desired filename with a .HGL file extension.   In the Overwrite field, select Yes.   Press F10 or / (slash) when done to save settings and return to the Freelance Plus menu. </li></ol> </li>  Select Print, Go. </li></ol>

Freelance now generates an HPGL print file in the directory location specified.
