convert dwg to pdf in Mac Autocad

[patsyrwhatley]

If I created my pensetting and inserted it into plot style, what are the next steps needed to convert my architectural drawing into a pdf to bring to a printer?

Ideas of what I should choose from edit page set up? See attachments

Hi,

As I see you want to print (save to PDF) from Model. So if you need specific scale in PDF output, you need to calculate area in the drawing you want to save to PDF relative to the paper size you assigned in this Page Setup.
If the area in the drawing you want to print doesnt match in proportions paper size you use, than you may need to check "Center plot" in page setup in order your drawing will be in the centre of the paper.
Now if you call this page setup window from Print dialog, you can save settings (OK button), and in Print dialog select Preview, your drawing will open in Preview application as PDF file, now you can save it to PDF in Preview app.
This is only one of the ways.
