Preview a Plot

It is good practice to generate a preview of the plotted drawing before sending
the drawing to the printer or plotter. Generating a preview saves time and
material.
You can preview the drawing from the Print dialog box. The preview shows
exactly how the drawing will look when plotted, including lineweights, fill
patterns, and plot style options.
When you preview your drawing, a new window is displayed that provides
buttons to print, pan, and zoom the drawing.

Plot Files to Other Formats

You can export or plot your drawings to other formats, including PDF and
PostScript.
