    How do I get "printable area" to read metric units in Plotter Configuration
    Editor when I click on Modify Standard Paper Sizes? In 2002, there is a
    radio button for inches / mm on the Plot Settings page. Printable area is
    shown there as well.

    Can we assume you are using 2k4?.. as there is a patch avail for 2k5
    that re-institutes that option..

    This is 2005 (stated in the subject). The patch addresses scale and offset,
    not printable area. And, the conversion is wrong, but close enough. When I
    am in Plotter Configuration Editor, and click on Modify Standard Paper Sizes
    (Printable Area), then 11*17, I am shown
    LR:0.19",0.19" Printable Area: 10.62" * 16.62". In 2002, I click on the mm
    radio button and my printable area shows as 269.77 * 422.17.

    Which conversion is wrong?

    11"-2*0.19"=10.62" >> 269.77 / 25.4 = 10.62087"
    17"-2*0.19"=16.62" >> 422.17 / 25.4 = 16.62087"

    Isn't that close enough?
    There are people and there are people.....

    As I stated, it is close enough. 10.62 * 25.4 = 269.748 on my calculator.
    And FYI, I think in plotter units which is .025mm. Do you have an answer to
    the OP or would you like to discuss something else?
