Plotter Calibration
Starts the Plotter Calibration wizard. If you need to correct scaling
discrepancies, you can adjust the plotter calibration using the Plotter
Calibration wizard. See “Calibrate Plotters and Work with Custom Paper Sizes”
in the Driver and Peripheral Guide.
NOTE You should perform a plotter calibration only if your drawings must be
exactly to scale and your plotter or printer produces inaccurate plots. Plotter
Calibration causes the program to rescale all plots sent to your plotter. If your
plotter provides a calibration utility, it is recommended that you use it instead of
the utility supplied with this program.
PMP File Attaches a PMP file to or detaches a PMP file from the PC3 file you
are editing. Use the Detach button to break the association between the PMP
file and the PC3 file.
■ Attach: Attaches a PMP file to the PC3 file. You can reuse calibration and
custom paper size data stored in the PMP file.
■ Save PMP: Saves a PMP file to a new file in the AutoCAD 2012\drv folder.
■ Detach: Detaches the PMP file associated with the PC3 file you are editing.
Import
Imports file information from earlier versions of the program. If you have a
PCP or PC2 file from an earlier version, you can import some of the
information in those files into a PC3 file. PC3 files store plotter name, port
information, pen optimization level, paper size, and resolution.
Save As
