Size
|
Specifies a paper size: A, B, C, D, E, F, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, and Custom size.
If you select Custom size, the Paper dialog box opens with the following additional options than those listed in this table:
• Height—Specifies a paper height for variable size (default is 8.5 inches).
• Width—Specifies a paper width for variable size (default is 11 inches).
• Units—Specifies units as inches or millimeters (default is inches).
• Include —Enables the label, and the Height option specifies the height of the label (the default height is .125 inches).
|

Orientation
|
Specifies the print orientation: Landscape or Portrait.
|
||
X-Offset
|
Specifies a horizontal printer offset.
|
||
Y-Offset
|
Specifies a vertical printer offset.
|
||
Auto Rotate
|
Orients the drawing sheet on the printer page such that the longest side of the drawing sheet is aligned with the longest side of the page.

Plot list
|
Select a plot type from the following list:
• Full Plot (default)—Creates a plot of an entire object.
• Clipped—Creates a clipped plot. Define the boundaries by drawing a box around the area to plot. This area appears on paper in its normal location relative to the lower left corner.
• Based on Zoom—Creates a scaled, clipped plot. The scaling and clipping are based on paper size and the zoom setting in the graphics window.
• Paper Outline (available in 2D mode only—Creates a plot of a specific area within a drawing on a specified paper size. For example, if you have a large drawing, such as size A0, and you want to plot an A4 area of the drawing, you can use this option.
• Plot Area—Creates a plot by shifting the area inside the clip box to the lower left corner of the paper and scaling the clipped area to match the user-specified scale. Zoom and pan screen factors and scale in the model size are also factored into the plot area. Thus, if the scale=1, the geometry is not necessarily printed to scale.
|
||
Scale
|
Specifies scale of plotter (default is 1:1). You can specify scale as Normalized ratio or Percentage.
|
||
Segmented
|
Selects segmented plotting, if applicable.

Quality
|
Selects interface quality for checking of overlapping lines. The options are:
• 3 (Complex overlap check) (default).
• 2 (Simple overlap check)
