As I recall it was just .eps files he was exporting. I don't remember what type of plotter it was, only that he leased it from a company in alabama. He was supposed to be a graphics guru but i schooled his ass on many occasions. I remember telling him that i would prefer to create my vectors in photoshop and send them to illustrator for conversion to .eps. He told me that you can't do that because illustrator doesn't read photoshop vectors.
I told him
File > Export > Paths to Illustrator.
Some guru.

We also have Adobe Bridge these days but yes Export is the easiest method :)

Back to AutoCAD pre-2k, OpenSCAD is definitely in the ballpark. Still it should fit the bill if you know coordinates and geometry. This is how true CAD is anyways so it's a worthy learning curve.
