ziemerd Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'm plotting my drawings out to PDF files and everything was fine when I did this before. When I do it now I do a preview and everything looks good but after I plot the drawing is shifted so part of it doesn't show up. Any ideas of why it shows up fine in preview but not when it plots?

RyanAtNelco Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Is the paper in the printer the correct size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziemerd Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 With PDF I don't plot to a printer so there's no paper involved but I do select ANSI B so it will be the correct size. I've done this dozens of times before and it worked fine so I don't understand what changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeloureiro Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I´ve had the same problem creating pdf´s for A4 size sheets. I tried printing on diferent printers and get a slightly diferent result. It seems to be a printer configuration problem, but i still haven´t found out what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziemerd Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 It's very strange because it worked fine the other day and I don't think I did anything different. I plotted the drawing to the printer and it printed fine so I don't get it. There's a lot about AutoCAD I don't understand and it makes it difficult to know what to try in order to fix things.

Ryder76 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 can you post a screen shot of your plot dialog box as it appears before you print to the PDF writer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
