G R A P H T E C....and not a bad idea to get a w i d e one.....ie 40"min...WHY??? Less splits-Customers LOVE one piece layouts and scale drawouts.....!!!!!!!!!!!...........Have had a 2100-90A for over 15 years-NEVER A PROBLEM.....N E V E R! :thumb:

Have had an older Graphtec 90A for over 10 years-WHAT A GREAT unit-rock solid construction, a total work horse and fully adjustable. Run offs only occur without double checking runout of vinyl and it's always a good idea to do test cuts. Other than that NO PROBLEMO!!!! ever. :thumb:

Yo Rex Meister....any luck witht your ANA techy guy yet?? :Cool 2:

Just saw this....interesting. I have the 2.95 dongle version and my BIG gripe is the LACK of parameters in the plotter box. The one I have in DeSign Art 3.5 is G R E A T. Also there is no read back to the VMP program like ANA had....Maybe one day they will get that going!!!!! HINT HINT if anyone...

...will do some due dilligence....worth knowing about at the very least but reality generally is, there are no absolutes especially with computors...but love checking new options!!!!!!!!!...can I go back to......:wine-smi: ...now???

OK! I have had to do this...but this is ONLY my experience!. I used the NORTON GHOST program. I also am running XP with SP2 (required). HEADS up from an EXTREMELY knowledgeable LOOOOOOOOng time genius...(not me by the way)....VISTA........N O T!!!!!!!!!! WHY..because it requires WAAAAY more than...

....If your dongle still has the 'wrapper paper' on it that ANA put on...peel it off and look at the make of it. Generally they are Sentinal. Do some 'google' on the maker. When you say 'broken' physically in pieces or when plugged in no response??. Also check for problems with that port. In...

.....hmmmmmm...just thought of somethin'...on that 4.0 version...I wonder if the drivers would have worked in XP for my plotter as well even though Graphtec Corp sais they did not support past Win2000. I have long since lost my install disks, which were all just upgrades from the very first...

....I await........guess it's....:wine-smi: time!

I have the 2.9 USB dongle version-no recognition issues at all. Just not nuts about the communication to my plotter. Graphtec90A. (No longer supported software wise-for XP drivers-from parent company). Future does have a code that allows it to work in XP Pro though. Also wish Future would design...

....I think that since I clicked 'yes' when closing that file as far as saving the changes it permantly embedded the error so no matter what it will never open fully.....my trigger finger blewit big time....:Oops: That begs the input of a VERY serious techy to fix....oh well....

Have been trying to export the file but the second I open it, which I have to do to export it, the Floating Point Error box comes up and makes me close the entire program. Ideas??...........

..........4.0..........??? That one slipped by me big time! Have never seen any advertisement on it. What's the diff?? The only thing that 2000 had that I wanted was a crispy vectorizing program. AND YES 3.5 IS A TRUE WORK HORSE.....other than the floating point error from time to time. Speaking...

DesignArt/Vinyl Master Pro ....After...dang, can't remember how many years of using DesingArt, 3.5 version, which I still LOVE and use...I am working with Vinyl Master Pro....only as I have had to upgrade to XP PRO. Interesting program-BUT the Plotter Dialogue Box/ANAGraph terminology, is very...
