The Enter Paper Units prompt is not displayed if you are plotting a raster
image, such as a BMP or TIFF file, because the size of the plot is assumed to
be in pixels.
Enter drawing orientation [Portrait/Landscape] <current>:
Portrait Orients and plots the drawing so that the short edge of the paper
represents the top of the page.
Landscape Orients and plots the drawing so that the long edge of the paper
represents the top of the page.
Plot upside down [Yes/No] <No>:
Orients and plots the drawing upside down.
Enter plot area [Display/Extents/Limits/Layout/View/Window] <current>:
Display Plots the view in the current viewport on the Model tab or the current
view in the layout, depending on which tab you select to plot.
Extents Plots all of the objects in the current viewport, except objects on
frozen layers. From a layout tab, plots all the geometry in paper space. The
drawing may be regenerated to recalculate the extents before plotting.
If you plot the drawing's extents with a perspective view active and the camera
position is within the drawing extents, this option has the same effect as the
Display option.
Limits Plots the drawing area defined by the grid limits. Available only when
the Model tab is selected.
Layout Plots everything within the printable area of the specified paper size,
with the origin calculated from 0,0 in the layout. Available only when a layout
tab is selected.
View Plots a view saved previously with the VIEW command. You can select
a named view from the list provided. If there are no saved views in the drawing,
this option is unavailable.
Window Plots any portion of the drawing you specify. This option prompts
you to specify the corners of the window.
Enter lower left corner of window: Specify a point
Enter upper right corner of window: Specify a point
Enter plot scale (Plotted Inches = Drawing Units) or [Fit] <current>: Specify the
scale of the plot
