Set the Position of the Plot
The printable area of a drawing sheet is defined by the selected printer or
plotter, but you can change the position of plot relative to the printable area
or to the edge of the paper.
The settings in the Plot Offset area of the Plot dialog box specify an offset of
the plot area relative to the lower-left corner (the origin) of the printable area
or 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 Plot dialog box displays the specified plot offset option in
parentheses.
You can shift the drawing on the paper by entering positive or negative values
in the X and Y offset boxes. However, this may result in the plot area being
clipped. If the Plot Area is not set to Layout (Extents, Display, View, or
Window), you can also select the Center the Plot option.
NOTE If you specify a different printer or plotter, the printable area might change.
