    Just got a oce tds600 plotter. For 15 years we have had plotters that read the edge of the image and added a margin. Oce seems to interpret border edge as cutline. We use as many as 10 different borders ranging from 22 x 34 to 36 x 54. Oce recommends creating a pc3 for each size, but we have been trying to minimize amount of pc3 files. However, since we don't have cutlines, we seem to need these individual pc3 files to shift the border right or left, or to add leading and trailing edges. Otherwise we would have to center all our plots, necessitating a lot of trimming.

    It seems we are fighting a losing battle - either we will have to redo our borders with cutlines, or have a dozen pc3 files. Any solutions out there??

    Also, since the oce driver lets one shift the drawing right-left, leading and trailing edge, etc. the Autocad center the plot feature is overridden. This results in a plot preview that is not accurate. Any solutions??
