Autoplot option for custom footprint

An equestion:

There used to be an Autoplot option for creating a custom footprint when
tracing a CAD file in the Wizard. I can't find it anymore. Did it go
away?

Thanks,

Bill,

In your eQuest installation folder, find the eQuest.ini file. Then
copy+paste the following 2 lines just after the 'preferences' section.

*EnableFootprintAutoPlot=1
EnableZoningAutoPlot=1*

Save this file and restart eQuest. I have had best use of this when using
AutoCAD 2004 drawings having polygons (actually, polylines) with fewer
vertices. eQuest allows polygons with 120 vertices I believe. So while using
the autoplot feature, if a polygon is not being traced well, just trace it
manually rather than going back to AutoCAD to fix it.

Thanks,
CJ
