Printer Help - getting closer

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Jonathan Chertok, Jan 29, 2005.

  1. List.

    Anybody have any clue as to why my drawings show up as plotting onto a 12 X
    18 inch piece of paper to the inkjet, and when it gets to the paper it only
    prints some middle portion of the actual drawing onto an 8 1/2 x 11 inch
    corner of the 12 X 18 inch sheet?

    Also, why would my layers with a #1 (red) lineweight be printing in red if
    the plotstyle has set that pen to print black?

    Much Thanks,

    Jonathan

    Set your default sheet size in your printer properties to the largest size
    that it will support. Then, you can plot to the maximum of that extents, or
    anything less than that. Be careful, too, as using the "Previous paper
    size" will cause that setting to be put back to 8.5"x11". That is a problem
    I stumbled into when I first started using LDD2004.
