jrn Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 How to change the origin between the lower left corner of printable area and lower left corner of paper? I want to unify a lot of drawings among which some have the origin the wrong place... Hope that someone knows how to fix it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Theres a couple of ways 1st is the simplest we just insist that all the guys here keep the lower left corner at 0,0 then therr is no confusion as to plotting and we are starting to use publish more and having titles all over the place screws this up. The other may be to just select extents then it doesn't matter where the sheet is. But may play havoc with publish. We supplied someone 70+ drawings part of a standards project they sent them back all over the place very frustrating as they are meant to be standards! We moved them again. So insist on standards and probably move them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 The paper that you see isn't really a paper (the paper is a lie!) - it's just a represenation of the paper. You can just as well not show the paper and just see your drawing frame. But, the one thing that I have found that messes with plotting with the Layout setting is the Plot Offset - you find this under tools > Options > Plot and Publish > Specify Plot Offset relative to: Like BIGAL says, the easiest way is to in the future insist that everyone does it the same way - the best way to accomplish that is set a template with everything ready and tell them to not touch a thing! (not that it works all the time...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrn Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 keep the lower left corner at 0,0 corner of representation of paper edge or representation of printable area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrn Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 insist that everyone does it the same way Thanks. I agree with you, but must accept that we're all just different, so as long as the output is folowing a standard, I don't care how to get there. I still can't figure out how to change the origin between corner of paper and corner of printable area... but thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Have you checked tools > Options > Plot and Publish > Specify Plot Offset? Try changing the setting and see what happens. You could also, depending on how you are working use the Window-option and select the outer corners of the drawing frame and sort of circumvent the question..
