Displays descriptive text about the output device specified in the currently
selected page setup. You can edit this text in the
Plotter Configuration Editor.
Partial Preview
Shows an accurate representation of the effective plot area relative to the paper
size and printable area. The tooltip displays the paper size and printable area.
Paper Size
Displays standard paper sizes that are available for the selected plotting device.
If the selected plotter does not support the layout's selected paper size, a
warning is displayed, and you can select the plotter's default paper size or a
custom paper size.
A default paper size is set for the plotting device when you create a PC3 file
with the Add-a-Plotter wizard. For information about this wizard, see “Set Up
Plotters and Printers” in the Driver and Peripheral Guide. The paper size that you
select in the Page Setup dialog box is saved with the layout and overrides the
PC3 file settings.
The actual printable area of the page, which is determined by the selected
plotting device and paper size, is indicated in the layout by a dashed line.
If you are plotting a raster image, such as a BMP or TIFF file, the size of the
plot is specified in pixels, not in inches or millimeters.
Plot Area
Specifies the area of the drawing to be plotted.
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.
Extents Plots the portion of the current space of the drawing that contains
objects. All geometry in the current layout is plotted. The drawing may be
regenerated to recalculate the extents before plotting.
Display Plots the view in the current viewport in the current layout.
