<div>Bill,</div>

<div>In your eQuest installation folder, find the eQuest.ini file. Then copy+paste the following 2 lines just after the 'preferences' section. </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>EnableFootprintAutoPlot=1<br>EnableZoningAutoPlot=1</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
