franksautocad Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi, We need to print a drawing on an A2 paper roll but the drawing is cut off at the length of an A1 or A2 page. How do you set it up so the full length of the roll can be used? At the moment the roll cuts off at 841mm in length when set to A1. How do you configure it to use more length of the roll so it doesn't cut off the drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I think you will have to create a custom sheet size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The plotter we have can't do that when printing A2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daft vader Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The plotter we have can't do that when printing A2. What printer you using ? when you plot to your printer Autocad tells it when to cut off, thats why JD said to create a custom sheet size You adjust the paper length in the custom sheet size, it can be made to print the whole roll if you want ?

Organic Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 No, I meant I can't get it to print A2 size (or the whole role if needed), I can't get it to cut A2 size though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daft vader Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 A2 = 420 x 594 mm or 16.5 x 23.4 I assume that your A2 paper roll is 595mm wide yes ? then you need to set up a custom sheet size to cut off at 420mm instead of 841mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
