Stevery Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Hi there, I am having trouble with my script when used for pdfing my drawings. My A1 titleblock boarders are usually 841x594mm with a offset of 10mm However when I use my script to plot I only get the Left and Right sides of the boarders and not the top or bottom lines.. Does anyone else have the same issue wit this? If I go through the options of File > Plot myself then it does show the boarders for me when PDF'd. Why does plotting through the command bar change this? When plotting with script through the command bar: http://prnt.sc/a7q3jv When plotting myself through Ctrl + P: http://prnt.sc/a7q3yv Edited February 25, 2016 by SLW210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yes, for some reason it was a real pain to approve, I think I finally got it. Stevery, you need to post images directly to CADTutor to avoid them need moderating for external links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZ Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 There are a LOT of variables that can be parsed quickly using the CTRL + P method of printing. I'd be carefully checking all of those for differences. Can you send a screen shot of your plot dialog box that prints the entire border correctly? And also post your script. I suspect thee is a difference somewhere between the pc3 file, paper size and "what to plot" settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the script I was using "ISO A1 (841.00 x 594.00 MM)" when plotting through CTRL+P I had it selected on "ISO full bleed A1 (841.00 x 594.00 MM)" I probably wouldn't have noticed this without you requesting these so thank you for helping me notice this!

YZ Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Nice! Sometimes all it takes is a sounding board you can run a problem past. I have encountered that same problem many times. The list of paper sizes is immense in AutoCAD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
