hisar uddin Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 We have recently bought a new plotter (HP Designjet T1100) for the drawing office. But we are finding that we are wasting too much paper as we do not know how to "nest" drawings so that we may save paper. Is there a way to lay-out a series of drawings on screen so that the plotter may be able to plot them out how we see it on screen. We are currently using AutoCAD 2000LT on our computers.

Strix Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 does this mean you're plotting eg A3 drawings on A0 paper on your plotter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my HP 1150 you go into the plotter menu (at the plotter) and select nesting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
