good day autocad lt for mac users!
i have created a custom arch d size - with 0 margins. the pdf preview shows correctly.
however, the actual plot itself cuts the left and right approximately 1/2" to 1" - the top and bottom seem fine. it trims out the plot stamp on the left and partial on the titleblock on the right. baffling.
shall i assume that this more of a plotter issue? it's an hp designjet 500.
we're running 2013 - mac lion
kind regards,
jon
Is this just when using publish?
I had just posted my own question before I noticed your. I get a similar issue but only on some drawings, and only when plotting through publish, albeit to PDF.
not a publish issue for me.
i'm curious though - normally & previous with my experience in page setup - you could navigate to the pc3 editor - and adjust the margins with the existing plotter configurations & sizes.
in mac or lt (not sure where this stems) - you can obviously create a custom sheet with margins set as your preference - however, the result is always the same.
the existing sheets have margins that i would like to eliminate - possible?
i'm starting to conclude that this may be a plotter (not mac or lt) issue. anyone out there running lt 2013 for mac - plotting with hp designjet 500??
cheers!
jon
i think i've come across some resolve - though unfortunate!

My assumption is that you are using a 24" DJ500. The hard limits are a physical restriction of the printer and cannot be bypassed. I don't think that they are as large as 3/4" however. Search this forum for similar questions on hard limits and I think you will find that they are 1/4".
You should also look at the ability of your application to control the size of the printable area on Architectural D size paper.
