Need plotting overview

I am trying to write a vba routine to plot a drawing and don't know where to
start! I just want to plot the current drawing, model space extents to a
particular printer (blahblah.pc3), using a particular plot style file
(blahblah.ctb)...

Any help on how to get started?

Thanks
Jim

 

This is my simple routine. It should get you on the right track.

Code:

Option Explicit

Public Sub Plot()
Dim objLayout As AcadLayout
Set objLayout = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayout
objLayout.SetCustomScale 1, 1
objLayout.ConfigName = "Mapping-LJ4000 PS.pc3"
objLayout.CanonicalMediaName = "A4"
objLayout.PaperUnits = acMillimeters
objLayout.PlotRotation = ac0degrees
objLayout.PlotType = acExtents
objLayout.CenterPlot = True
objLayout.PlotWithPlotStyles = True
objLayout.StyleSheet = "STRIPMAP.ctb"
ThisDrawing.Plot.PlotToDevice
End Sub
