    I am currently using AutoCAD 2000 and plotting drawing out on a HP 1050C in a Windows 98 enviroment.
    If I draw a line at the top it will not plot; If I shift the origin to plot the line it plots the sheet almost a 5/8" longer which would required two trim lines
    Does anyone have any idea on a way to plot a trim line on a 42x30 drawing that will show up on a 36" roll feed paper?

    If you want the machine to trim to the exact margins you need to plot to the
    exact margins, 35.61 x 41.34 is the printable area for 36 x 42. So if you
    plot a window that size it should do what you want.
    You are aware, however, that there are 30" rolls for that plotter? Sure
    beats manually trimming
