I'm trying to get a 12 mb jpeg into Plotmaker, and its "unexpectedly quitting" during the import process. The image I'm importing has a long aspect ratio (street elevation) which I intend to print using a banner page onto a roll of 18" paper.
Can't I get an image of any size into Plotmaker??

I saw a posting that recommended 512 mb. For ArchiCAD 8. this is a bare minimum on either platform. But the MAC is particularly sensitive to this. I would recommend 1 gb and if you can get a minimum of 16 mb in your plotter. If this doesn't do the trick call GSUS tech support or your AC reseller.

I think Bruce has the right idea. I would suggest rebooting, and then with all programs closed, (including ArchiCAD), opening just PlotMaker and seeing how you go.
Cheers,

Can't I get an image of any size into Plotmaker??Plotmaker 2.x on the Mac cannot import an image wider than 4096 pixels, it can however import an image taller than 4096 pixels!
So rotate the image 90º in Photoshop and re-import into Plotmaker. You can then rotate it back again in Plotmaker or print it vertically.
cheers

Now we have a great photograph, an elevation of existing conditions along out site, 5 feet long printed on a single sheet from a roll.
Thank you SO MUCH for knowing that preposterous bit of information.
