Adjust the Plot Offset of a Layout
The printable area of a drawing sheet is defined by the selected output device
and is represented by the dashed line in a layout. When you change the output
device, the printable area may change.
The plot offset specifies an offset of the plot area relative to the lower-left
corner (the origin) of the printable area or the edge of the paper.
You can offset the geometry on the paper by entering a positive or negative
value in the X and Y Offset boxes. However, this may result in the plot area
being clipped.
If you choose to plot an area other than the entire layout, you can also center
the plot on the sheet of paper.
Set the Plot Scale for a Layout
When you plot a drawing layout, you can either specify a precise scale for the
layout or fit the image to the paper.
Normally, you plot a layout at a 1:1 scale. To specify a different scale for the
layout, set the plot scale for the layout in the Page Setup or the Print dialog
box. In those dialog boxes, you can select a scale from a list or enter a scale.
NOTE You can modify the list of scales with SCALELISTEDIT.
When you are reviewing an early draft view, a precise scale is not always
important. You can use the Fit to Paper setting to plot the layout at the largest
possible size that fits the paper.
