Auto rotate Option in Autocad Print

[Folio]

Is there is a way to auto rotate drawings in the print window?? I'm always having trouble trying to find out how to rotate the drawings to fit the sheet in a different orientation.

One can print in two orientations: landscape or portrait. What else do you need?

If your printer has Autorotate available. Select your printer>properties>custom properties.

You can use the UCS command to rotate the Z access if from Modelspace. If from Paperspace, simply use the Rotate command for the Viewport.

 

If you're simply meaning orientation then ReMark is correct.

[SLW210]

Auto rotate is different from rotating the geometry and selecting landscape or portrait. Auto rotate automatically selects the best orientation to suit the paper size.

Also if your using a plotter check out if Nesting is turned on.

And where would one find "nesting"? Wouldn't the user have to be running a particular piece of software to have access to "nesting"?

[SLW210]

Nesting is available with some plotter drivers (usually the higher end). It would allow plotting 2+ drawings side by side (i.e. 4 Arch (ANSI) A size in a row on 36" roll or 2 Arch (ANSI) B). Our HP DJ 5500 has it and our HP DJ 500 does not.
