Need help in breaking something that works?

Just ask the experts at Autodesk.com. Specifically those who decided that they
needed to screw around with plotting one more time. Apparently, almost everyone in
the world has figured out how to plot in AutoCAD 2000 and later, so they decided to
fix it.

I only had one problem with plotting and that was that "custom" scale did not work at
all in 2004 for some reason. That bug for me is still there in 2005. There is
apparently no way to activate the ability to just plot to fit the paper, without
changing the numbers in the ratio manually.

Aside from that, which they did not fix, they have managed to make it seriously
unpleasurable to plot in AutoCAD and ADT 2005. At least for me.

At the same time, both AutoCAD and ADT 2004, and 2005 in sum-total, are still great
improvements, 2005 being, in my opinion, maybe a major step forward, great works by
the people who worked on it at Autodesk. All except for plotting.

Sorry to have to vent on this, but WHY when it already worked?
