In addition, a PC2 file contains any resolution information that has been
modified by a plotter calibration. Pen assignment information can also be
imported and saved in a plot style table using the Add Plot Style Table wizard.
To import plotting device and pen settings information, you can use the
Import PCP or PC2 Plot Settings wizard to choose a PCP or PC2 file whose
settings you want to import. You can also choose to modify any of the
imported settings using the Page Setup dialog box.
To import PCP or PC2 settings into the current layout
1 At the Command prompt, enter pcinwizard.
2 In the Import PCP or PC2 Plot Settings wizard, select the PCP or PC2 file
whose settings you want to import into the current layout.
Create and Use Named Page Setups
You can save plot device, plot style table, and page setup settings as named
page setups. You can select a named page setup to replace the current settings
in the Page Setup dialog box.
You can apply different named page setups to the same layout to achieve spe-
cific results when plotting. For example, you might create the named page
setups in the following table to control scaling and paper size.
Page setup name Description
NoScaling Plot at scale 1:1, E-size sheet
Scale 1 to 2 Plot at scale 1:2, C-size sheet
Draft Plot to the draft-quality plotter
Final Plot to the high-quality plotter
