If the drawing is too big to print on one sheet, select the Tiling Enabled check
box. This option is only available when the scale is set to Model 1:1.
Registration marks are printed on page corners to allow alignment of printed
pages. Page identifiers contain the drawing and sheet name and a table cell
number to help keep pages in order.
Plotting Multiple Sheets
Use the Multi-Sheet Plot wizard to plot multiple drawing sheets that include
drawings of various sizes. You access the wizard from the Start menu on your
computer task bar. Click Programs ➤ Autodesk ➤ Autodesk Inventor
[version] ➤ Autdesk Multi-Sheet Plot. You can:
■ Set up the printer to use
■ Set layout preferences
■ Specify the project that contains the drawings you want to plot
■ Select the drawing files to plot
■ Preview the generated composite (which automatically arranges drawings
for efficient use of paper)
■ Plot now, print to a file, or schedule a plot job in the Task Scheduler.
If sheets are larger than the plot area, you can change page size or remove files
from the print list.
Tips for Annotating Drawings
■ Use text parameters to display drawing properties and other information
in the title block.
■ Use the cursor symbols as cues to place and align dimensions.
■ Drag the dimension text and dimension handles to reposition dimensions.
■ Edit model dimensions (not drawing dimensions) to update the model.
■ Include general tables and customized style overrides in the drawing
template so they are available in all drawings based on that template.
