Mr Jörg Oppel. "... with the use of NORMICA our support services became even more satisfactory."
"Since there is a wide range of high-quality CAD systems, we could not possibly include all of them here at HP DesignJet Support. We have installed AutoCAD, Microstation and ArchiCad, if, however, we receive test files from our clients for which we do not have the respective CAD software, we use NORMICA for processing the plot information. With NORMICA it is possible to view and edit plot files. Pen properties as well as proportions can be modified. This is also true for inadequate plotter settings, which can be corrected with NORMICA. In addition ...->
Mrs Pacciarella: "We would like to compliment the developers of Normica”
"If we cannot understand the cause for the discrepancy between the required plot and the actual one, we normally ask for the PLT or PRN files, in which we find clues as to whether the correct plot settings were selected. With NORMICA we are able to recognize our client's drawing immediately. If we do not have the CAD system used by our client, which is frequently the case, NORMICA is the only possibility to open the plot files. We do everything over the phone. A client may for example tell me that he "wants the file to be plotted this way but it simply wouldn't". In many cases the user at first assumes that the cause for the misplots can be found in the hardware. We can tell, however, that the reason for incorrect drawings is an insufficiently defined plot configuration. In order to be able to offer a solution to our clients, we need to take a look at their digital data. ...->
U. Fischer: “The ‘first-aid kit' for anyone, who works with wrongly stored plot data”
As plotting service-suppliers we are often faced with the problem, that the customer has stored/input certain parameters incorrectly. Errors which come up frequently are … The plot should be drawn up black/white, has however been input in color, the plotter interprets in such case grey areas; yellow appears as light grey, if at all. Here with the NORMICA I can quickly and comfortably change the pen color to black and the line intensity remains unaltered. ... ->
Dieter Krumpe: “I no longer want to do without the NORMICA Software”
The REPRO+KOPIER-ZENTRUM, Berlin offers a complex range of reprographic services with emphasis being laid on copying, plotting, printing and corresponding re-processing. The customer-base consists traditionally of the planning sector of the building and construction business. There is therefore an increasing demand for services in the CAD-sphere and also in picture-processing. The reprographic appliances of Océ in their latest technological versions are used in all spheres. The appliance technology is completely inter-linked and the usual communication means are employed. With NORMICA there is now a software available (long desired by me), ... ->

Mr. Platzek: "We use NORMICA for project management and costing."
Assmann Beraten+Planen GmbH carry out since 30 years construction projects. Projects are e.g. the stadion 'Arena auf Schalke'. Further projects are the reconstruction of the Reichstag in Berlin, or the airport Dortmund, or the exhibition center of Friedrichshafen.
Interview partner is Mr. Platzek, who is responsible for system administration and technical operating. Further he works on the concepts of the future development of ASSMANN Beraten + Planen . ... ->
Wolfgang Beyer: “NORMICA Software is an integral part of our architectural office”
HP-GL/2 is the most widely used Data format for large-format printing in the CAD area. Moreover it has thus developed into a recognized data exchange format; i.e. various drafting specialists involved in construction compile and exchange their data on the basis of HP-GL and HP-GL/2. Nevertheless one cannot do away with paper even in the so-called “paperless office” – one is clearly asking too much of the offices involved to evaluate a project “paperless” – in my opinion this will remain so even in the future. ... ->
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) :
State Agency for Road Construction, Sachsen-Anhalt Germany
"We recommend using NORMICA in all areas related with project monitoring."
Functions: This program serves to visualize and edit print and plot files in various formats (HP-GL, PCL 5, HP-RTL).
Applications: In most cases, plot files, once they have been created, can only be printed/plotted via a COPY command sent to a printer/plotter. To edit their design, plot files usually have to be re-generated using the application software the files were originally created with. This is impossible if there is a spatial segregation between the place of creation of the plot file and where the printing/plotting is to be done. Moreover, there is no possibility of seeing a correct printing preview of the file. That is where NORMICA comes into use. ... >
