Re: .quad files in curve drop box won't display in printer dialogue

2007-07-29 by David

I had the same thing happen. After I d0 a "save as" for the new curve
 from the menu File>Save As, I then copied the .guid file from one
computer to the other, putting it in the proper subfolder from my
printer. 

But before I could use it, I found I had to go into the Curve Creation
dialog, open the curve, then hit the "Create Curve" button. I think
that this is what creates the "other" curve that's as instructions by
the printer. (If you're not copying to another computer, you have to
do it as part of your curve creation.)

At one point the curve was still not showing up in the print screen
under "Curve Setup" but I realized I had the wrong printer model
selected in the "Printer" part of the screen. 

Best, David.
