I have a dwg drawn in AutoCAD 2005 and plotted to the HP1050cm.
The linework is jagged. I thought there may be something wrong with the calibration of the plotter. I plotted the dwg from AutoCAD 2004 and the linework plotted just like it should. Calibration isn't the problem.

Is there a new driver needed for 2005? I've looked but don't see one.
Does anyone know of a solution and is anyone else having this problem?

Are you trying to reuse 2004's PC3 file?

No I updated my pc3 file to 2005. I added a custom paper size and save the changes in 2005.

Did you recreate the pc3 from scratch. I had a similar problem and had to recreate all new pc3 file for all our printers.

Can you plot straight to the Windows System driver, skipping the PC3 file,
as a test?

It sounds like the plotter driver in 2005 is set to "draft" mode, which I
believe is only 150 dpi. Try setting it to "normal".
