Window
Plots any portion of the drawing that you specify. When you specify the two
corners of the area to plot, the Window button becomes available.
Click the Window button to use the pointing device to specify the two corners
of the area to be plotted, or enter coordinate values.
Plot Offset
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 setting made in
the Specify Plot Offset Relative To option (Options dialog box,
Plot and Publish
tab
). The Plot Offset area of the Page Setup dialog box displays the specified
plot offset option in parentheses.
The printable area of a drawing sheet is defined by the selected output device
and is represented by a dashed line in a layout. When you change to another
output device, the printable area may change.
You can offset the geometry on the paper by entering a positive or negative
value in the X and Y offset boxes. The plotter unit values are in inches or
millimeters on the paper.
Center the Plot
Automatically calculates the X and Y offset values to center the plot on the
paper.
X
Specifies the plot origin in the X direction relative to the setting of the Plot
Offset Definition option.
Y
Specifies the plot origin in the Y direction relative to the setting of the Plot
Offset Definition option.
Plot ScaleScale
Controls the relative size of drawing units to plotted units.
NOTE If the Layout option is specified in Plot Area, 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.
