Oppie Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Are you working with Layout or modelspace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oppie Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 When in Layout, just press print. A new window will open Select your printer Go to properties Select modify standard paper sizes (printable area) Below select your paper and press modify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donz67z Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 i draw in modelspace. lets say i pick B size 11x17, the printable area is about 10x16 or maybe less. i'd like the printable area to be 10.5x16.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Just remember at the end of the day it does not matter what size you want the plotter or printer to plot it will have a mechanical hard clip limit so get the book out and look it up for your device. A lot of plotters hold the last 25-30mm of cut sheets compared to roll feedabout 15mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
