    Can someone help? I would like to have a plotter Icon that allows me to plot directly from the Icon to my printer, any size of paper in a scale to fit to the size of 17x11.
    Plotter name: ad_eng
    Scale: Scale to fit
    Paper Size: 17x11
    Plot Style table: Monochrome
    Plot Offset: Center the plot

    Thank You
    Avi

    I attached a script that i use to batch plot that has the command sequence laid out. (rename .zip to .scr or .txt had to fool the uploader.)

    For fun I but it on a button! Cool it works...

    *******
    text for menu button
    *******
    ^C^C-plot;Yes;Layout1;hp5si.pc3;11x17;Millimeters;Landscape;No;Extents;F;Center;Yes;acad.ctb;Yes;No;No;No;N;N;Y;

    *******

    change names of the variable stuff accordingly

    Regards,
    Tom
