This is my last ditch effort to get this resolved before I have to start looking for a solution form a different company. I really love Autodesk AutoCAD but if I can't get it working it is worthless to me.
Our group has been using AutoCAD for our laser engraving projects (Epilog Helix 60W) for several years. We had no issues clear through AutoCAD 2014. The Helix driver/screen work flawlessly with AutoCAD. However, our group recently upgraded to AutoCAD 2016 and now AutoCAD will not accept the settings as set in the Helix print driver/screen interface. I have even found several posts in this exact forum that are seeing the same issues. NONE of them appear to have ever gotten a satisfactory resolution.
When answering this post, please keep in mind the fact that the issue arises with the newest versions of AutoCAD. I am running the latest drivers from EPILOG. And as stated they work flawlessly in Autocad 2014 and earlier. I am positive that the issue lies with the AutoCAD software and whatever changes were made to the plotting functions in the newer versions of AutoCAD.
What can I do to get AutoCAD 2016 to play nicely with the Epilog print driver/screen???
