Before plotting a drawing,
you must select a printer or plotter. The device you select affects
the printable area of the drawing.
After
selecting a printing or plotting device, you also can easily plot
a drawing using the default settings in the Plot dialog box.
To select a printer or
plotter
- In the Plot dialog box, under Printer/Plotter,
select a plotter from the Name list.
If you have already selected a paper size and
it is not supported by the plotter you have chosen, you are warned
that a paper size supported by the plotter will be used. Click OK
if the warning is displayed.
- Once you have selected a plotter, you
can continue to select a paper size, or if the paper size is correct,
click OK to plot the drawing.
