Willum Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Hello. When i change from portrait too landscape the drawing still prints in portrait. What can i do too solve this? Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 What size paper are you printing to? This print wouldn't happen to be going to a machine with multiple trays? Quote
Willum Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 I'm printing it in A3 an the machine has multiple trays, A4 and A3. Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 In the Plot dialog box sometimes one will find a paper size, like A3, listed twice with the dimensions given as 297x420 and also as 420x297. Could you have selected the wrong one? Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 So you change the drawing orientation in the plot dialog box and when you do a Preview does it look correct? Post a screen shot of your Plot dialog box. Can you also attach a copy of the actual DWG file? Someone here can do a "test" print using the parameters your Plot dialog box indicates and see what their results are. Quote
Willum Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 It is not correct in a Preview. Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Well see my two previous suggestions re: image and DWG file. Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Maybe you made a change via Custom Properties specific to your printer (see where it says Orientation)? If so, maybe it is overriding what you set in your plot dialog box. Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Top image. Expand the Plot dialog box so we can see what the orientation has been set to in AutoCAD. Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Willum: Dude....what's the hold up? Did you discover the source of the problem? Yes/No/Still looking? Quote
Willum Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 Bigger picture. It means standing or laying. Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Please see post #12. THAT is the image we need to see. It is of the right hand (expanded) side of the AutoCAD PLOT dialog box. Quote
Willum Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 I just found the button too expand the dialog box. The orientation was on portrait and when i changed it everything was correct. Thank you ReMark:D:D Quote
ReMark Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 I was expecting just that. Glad you finally found the source of your problem. You're entirely welcomed. Quote
