    Default How to plot

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi,

    Im a newbie to Autocad and have some printing problems.

    When I go to the layout1 tab and draw a new viewport, my whole drawing is set in it. So far so good, when I go to preview it is totally blank. Do you have suggestions what could solve this problem? Thank you.

    Are you specifying the area to plot by layout, window, extents, etc?
