When the Options window opens, change the layout to landscape
and the width and height dimensions to 20 and 10 inches (see
Figure 10.9).

will find that when you import into KCam a n HPGL file created
with CorelDraw, KCam plots th e objects you place on th e page
from last created to first. This will affect how long it will ta ke your
machine to run through the prog ra m. For a first test , pla ce paral-

the right of the page, stacked from the bottom to the top of th e
