Determine the Drawing Orientation of a Layout
You can specify the orientation of the drawing on the paper using the Land-
scape and Portrait settings. Landscape orients the drawing on the paper so
that the long edge of the paper is horizontal, and Portrait orients the paper
so that the short edge is horizontal. Changing the orientation creates the
effect of rotating the paper underneath the drawing.
In either landscape or portrait orientation, you can select Plot Upside-Down
to control whether the top or bottom of the drawing plots first.
Although you can specify the drawing orientation in both the Page Setup
dialog box and the Plot dialog box, the Page Setup settings are always saved
and reflected in the layout. In the Plot dialog box, you can override the page
setup settings for a single plot; however, the settings you apply are not saved
in the layout. To save the settings you apply using the Plot dialog box, select
the Save Changes to Layout option on the Plot Device tab.
If you change the drawing orientation, the plot origin remains in the lower-
left corner of the rotated page.
To set the orientation of the plotted drawing
1 From the File menu, choose Page Setup.
2 In the Page Setup dialog box, choose the Layout Settings tab.
