    Is there any way to find out what the x,y coordinates for your plot window
    are? I have a layout that was created by someone else and I need to
    duplicate it for an office in a different location. The user that created
    it didn't document how and now i'm left guessing. I'm running Acad 2002 on
    windows xp. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Brian,

    Just for grins, did you try to plot it as it came? Well, just a thought.

    There should be a dashed line in paper space showing the plotting
    border. I would move the whole contents of paper space around until they
    lie satisfactorily within the dashed line. Then plot Layout.

    I know i can do that, but i need to set up this layout on another machine
    and would like to know what the plot window x,y are so we are all plotting
    the same way. This machine is in another office and can't use the pc3 file
    that is currently made for this particular layout.

    Sorry if i haven't been clear. I need to reproduce the pc3 file for another
    user in another office that doesn't have access to our network. So i need
    to make it from scratch. I was trying to make an exact duplicate of the pc3
    file we use here. For this i need to know what the plot window x,y
    coordinates are so i can set up the other office to print exactly as we are
    in this office. I hope this has cleared things up a little.

    I have all the settings except for the window of the view that was selected
    to plot. I need the lower right hand corner and the uppper left corner of
    the window selected to plot. I just wanted to know if there was an easy way
    to get these numbers. Thanks.
