Click the Window button to use the pointing device to specify the two corners
of the area to be plotted, or enter coordinate values.
Model/Layout Views Plots a view that was previously saved with the -VIEW
(page 1139) command.
Layout/Limits When plotting a layout, plots everything within the printable
area of the specified paper size, with the origin calculated from 0,0 in the
layout.
When plotting from the Model layout, plots the entire drawing area that is
defined by the grid limits. If the current viewport does not display a plan view,
this option has the same effect as the Extents option.
Scale
Controls the relative size of drawing units to plotted units.
NOTE If the Layout option is specified in What to Print, the layout is plotted at
1:1 regardless of the setting specified in Scale.
Fit to Paper Scales the plot to fit within the selected paper size and displays
the custom scale factor in the Scale, Inch =, and Units boxes.
Scale Defines the exact scale for the output. Custom defines a user-defined
scale. You can create a custom scale by entering the number of inches (or
millimeters) equal to the number of drawing units.
NOTE You can modify the list of scales with SCALELISTEDIT (page 930).
Inch(es) =/mm = Specifies the number of inches or millimeters equal to the
specified number of units.
Inch/mm Specifies inches or mm for display of units. The default is based on
the paper size and changes each time a new paper size is selected.
Unit Specifies the number of units equal to the specified number of inches
or millimeters.
Scale Lineweights Scales lineweights in proportion to the plot scale.
Lineweights normally specify the line width of output objects and are output
with the line width size regardless of the scale.
Offset for Printable Area
Specifies an offset of the plot area relative to the lower-left corner of the
printable area or to the edge of the paper, depending on the value of the
PLOTOFFSET (page 1438) system variable.
