Plot Project in 2014

[TCWestern]

I seem to always have trouble plotting a project in ACAD Electrical. I just upgraded to 2014 and am attempting to plot all my drawings out on 11 x 17 in landscape mode. It keeps plotting in portrait mode. When I consult the help file it says to go to a menu which does not exist so I am skeptical that the help will do any good. Is there some documentation that shows step by step how to set up the projects, drawings, page layouts, etc. so that I can do some basic plotting. I am just plotting to a "laser" printer in monochrome. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Have you gone through the "Add-A-Plotter Wizard" to create your PC3 plotter file?

No. Have no idea where to find it.

On the command line type : _plottermanager
Dialog box should open and double click on Add-A -Plotter-Wizard

Okay, I set up a plotter configuration file. Then I tried plotting two of my sheets. I plotted in model space and selected the plotter config I created. After messing with sheet size, I got the first sheet to plot out the way I want it to. Unfortunatelly, the second sheet does not plot. There is a "'wd_prnt_repeat_cr" on the command line, but it doesn't appear to do anything.

Are you plotting one sheet at a time or doing a publish/plot project?

I am doing a publish/plot project and I selected two sheets to be plotted.

Did you associate the drawings model tab to the PC3 file you created?
