    Default Plot longer than 600"

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am curious if there is a way to plot longer than 600"? When I try to set the length to 1200" I get the following error.

    "One or more custom sizes are invalid given the selected configuration for this printer"

    I am using an HP Designjet 1050C.

    A 100 foot long plot. OK. Did you create you own custom size? This look familiar?

    I have tried, but when I hit ok, I get the error message above.

    And yes, the 100' plot if for a natural gas well log.

    Does your plotter give you a choice like mine shown in the graphic in post #2?

    Use the Custom Properties choice further up, on an HPT770 I can specify a length of 3520.68. You are on a 1050C so that may be the limitation for that model.
