I thought I share my printing experience with you –maybe it will help someone.
I get a project to plot it out. The sender didn’t work much before in AutoCAD and he created the formats in model space. Also he copied all the formats into one single document to simplify the e-mailing process.
I tried at first to save some paper and I moved/rotated the formats to better use the width of the paper roll. But because the formats were very various (none of them was standard size) I ended up with long papers. I said: "It is even better!" I moved the drawings one near the others and I defined a very long paper (about 9m long). As always, I selected the "process drawing in computer" option and I pressed the "Plot" button. But the plotted drawing had a bad aspect: like when a low resolution raster image in magnified with a big scale factor… But the drawing is vectorial, not raster format! I checked the settings… I spent some time and I ended up dividing the long format in two smaller ones. Now it printed just fine. I have no explanations while it happens so-but as I said I hope this will help someone.
