Hello,
Our firm uses an out-of-house printing company for full size plots of drawings. Recently, we've been having problems with the plt files we send them. I create plt files by picking the correct plotter and plot style. My drawing is 36"x24" so I choose "Arch D (24.00 x 36.00 Inches)" in the Paper size pull-down. I choose my plot area by the "Window" option and select the opposite corners of my sheet border. I set my plot scale to 1:1, choose landscape orientation, do a plot preview, and everything appears to be fine. I then send the plt file to our out-of-house printing company. They then tell me the plt files open as 34" x 22".
I've tried sending them all (4) 36" x 24" paper size options:
Arch D (24.00 x 36.00 Inches), Arch D (36.00 x 24.00 Inches), Arch expand D (24.00 x 36.00 Inches), and Arch expand D (36.00 x 24.00 Inches). All plt files appear on the printing companies end as 34" x 22".
Can anyone explain to me what needs to change for the plt files to print to the proper paper size?
