Hi vdesai,
The plot scripts with A2K (and higher) are a little more complicated than they were in R14. There are a ton of settings that need to be adjusted depending on your personal setup.
Here is one that you can modify to suit your needs. Every line that begins with a ";" is a "comment", and is ignored by AutoCAD.
Depending on your settings, you might see different options in the prompts, so the script below is only a loose template.
The best way to go about things, is to type -PLOT at the YOUR AutoCAD command prompt and go through each step manually. Once completed, use the "Command Capture" tool in Hurricane to capture all the commands.
