Adjust the Plot Origin in a Layout
You can change the plot offset from the origin to adjust the location of the
plot on the paper.
The plot origin is the lower-left corner of the specified plotted area. Typically,
the plot offset from the origin is set to 0 in both the X and Y directions.
If you choose to plot an area other than the entire layout, you can also center
the plot on the sheet of paper. Centering the plot alters the plot origin.
If you want to move the drawing relative to the lower-left corner of the paper,
specify positive or negative values for the plot offset. To offset the plot below
the lower-left corner, enter negative values. This may result in the plot area
being clipped.
To offset the plot origin
