TrueView Program has an equivalent to export command for DWG. Export
command sends to Metafile, and then that can be opened in another
paint type program, and saved as TIFF.

> These are reproducable simply as a Xerox copy. However, if I can send them a
> TIFF file the printing charges reduce to $0.27 per square foot. One D size

> to $1.62 a sheet if sent to them in TIFF format. If they make copies from
> the PLT file the copies are Xeroxed the same as if I sent a TIFF file and
> They would simply be plotting the number of TIFF files I needed. I don't
> know why this is so costly but I don't want to pay a premium for check plots
