• If the plotter configuration file cannot be found, is missing required values, or is generating plotter errors, then an error dialog box opens after you click OK. Depending on the error, you can redirect to the correct plotter configuration file or edit the plotter configuration file, from the dialog box.
• If you have defined a model grid, and you are plotting a Projection Layout view or Manual Layout view, the model grid is automatically plotted for all views with the correct orientation. For information on defining a model grid, see Detailed Drawings help.
