Can I use compression when creating DCD files?

If you are using the following versions (or later) of Printcommander, Common Objects, and Control Panel, you must add an option to your ISI.INI file to disable compression when the DCD file is created:

Control Panel (version 5, release 1, level 11)

Print Commander 5.1.2 build 20020619

Common Objects 10.2.0 build 20020717

Add this option and control group:

< PrintDef - DCD >
Compression = 0

If compression is left on, the system cannot create FAP files, nor can it display compressed DCD files. The file appears to open but none of the objects display.

Disabling compression results in a bigger DCD file.

Note   Older versions of Print Commander, Common Objects, and Control Panel do not require this setting because they do not create compressed DCD files.
