Cad64 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 That's up to your printer, not Autocad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 You can adjust your printable area in Autocad: 1. Open up your Plot dialog 2. Select your Plotter 3. Click the Properties button 4. Select "Modify Standard Paper Sizes (Printable Area)" 5. Select your paper size 6. Click the Modify button 7. Set the Top, Bottom, Left and Right to 0.00 This will give you the maximum printable area in Autocad, but there's no guarantee your printer will be able to comply.

Cad64 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 You would be better off doing this in a program like Photoshop where you can extend the image all the way to the edge. Then you can create a pdf or jpg with no border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
