mattd@acdsecurity.com Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Can anyone tell me when setting up a plot, do you set up paper size, orientation, color or black/white in Autocad itself or do you do it in Windows (Start) (Settings) (Printers and Faxes)?

ReMark Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You can do it all in AutoCAD. Do you already have your printer/plotter driver installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB'27T Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I set it up in Autocad using the page setup manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd@acdsecurity.com Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 yeh, the drivers are installed, but when I setup to plot the plot comes out in the wrong orientation than I wanted, so I change it and it still plots wrong. Sometimes my company logo plots sometimes it doesn't or it plots partially outside the border of my titleblock. This is driving me insane!!

ReMark Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You do check the drawing with Plot Preview beforehand don't you? What printer are your drawings being sent to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattd@acdsecurity.com Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Also, when I setup the plot I look at the plot preview and it shows the correct layout and seems as if it is correct but it plots wrong like I previously stated.

ReMark Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes > right click and open Printing Preferences. Maybe something there has to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
