plotting

Hey,

this is weird. all the sudden when i print from autocad layout the layout is not printing as displayed. when i print, choose my printer, and go to print preview it is not displayed the way it is in my layout. the layout box is positioned right wehre I want it at the perimeter of the page (dotted line). anyone have any quick ideas?

in layout it is in 24x36 landscape. in page setup>modify it says 24x36 landscape. in print preview it is showing my drawing in landscape and paper space in portrait, hence, cutting out the drawing when plotting. cant figure it out.

In what way exactly is it

not displayed the way it is in my layout

Not to scale? Not the right color?

read the book or wach tutorial video on youtube.

its hard to explain literaly,there are a lot of ways to make stuff.

in layout it is in 24x36 landscape. in page setup>modify it says 24x36 landscape. in print preview it is showing my drawing in landscape and paper space in portrait, hence, cutting out the drawing when plotting. cant figure it out.

Howd you do that, I mean before I posted the question?:wink:

OK, check your paper size in page layout. Sometimes it will do that if you select a paper size that says 24x36 instead of 36x24.

Try changing your selection to ARCH D extended 36x24 and see if that fixes it.

I had the same thing happen to me, somehow my paper got changed to ARCH D 24x36 and the exact problem occured.
