Extents Plots the portion of the current space of the drawing that contains
objects. All geometry in the current space is plotted. The drawing may be
regenerated to recalculate the extents before plotting.
Display Plots the view in the current viewport in the Model tab or in the
current paper space view in a layout tab.
View Plots a view that was previously saved with the VIEW command.
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 Scale
