Plot Maker Will Not Open

[Anonymous]

I am trying to use Plot Maker to plot my .pln and .prn files. However the program will not completely load. I uninstalled and reinstalled hoping to fix it - to no avail.

Hm, .prn ... you mean .plt?

How does it not start? Which version of PlotMaker/Archicad and on which OS?

I am currently using Plot Flow 1.4 on XP machine. And yes I meant .plt files. The program will open in the task bar, however it will not open up as a window.

Ah, the missing PlotFlow window ... there used to be a bug that can be sorted out by ResEdit. Take a look into old posts in Tips&Tricks, or do a search foir PlotFlow, you will find it. Essentially, your PlotFlow window is offscreen and you have to bring it back.

BTW, please add your Archicad version and OS to your signature. Many problems are environment specific.

I found the fix in the archives. Search for the Plotflow.ini file on your machine. Somehow the x and y values got changed to -32000 each. Change them to 100, and then reopen Plotflow. Problem Solved.
