ACLT2007 OLE Plots Mirrored & Reverse

[rlcollier]

I am new to AutoCad Lt 2007. Plotter HP 750C. If I set my page to landscape orientation in AutoCad, the imported Word Document OLE will reverse and flip. Yet when it is set to portrait orientation it plots correctly. The rest of the drawing plots correctly in either landscape or portrait. So it appears to affect only the OLE document. Anyone got an idea how to solve the problem? Thanks.

Your OLE needs to be at the rotation you want BEFORE
plotting: it will not auto-rotate with driver or autocad
plot settings. A known limitation.

Thank you for your response.

Actually if I turn off the "Plot Upside Down" switch in Page Setup Manager it plots correctly in landscape orientation on my HP750C Plotter. If the switch is on, it flips and mirrors the OLE.

When I plot to my HP Laserjet 6P letter size printer, it plots correctly with the switch on or off. For some reason, I feel that it is the driver between ACLT and the HP plotter. Maybe it is a bug in ACLT 2007.

At least I have a work around.

no, it does this in all autocad versions. a known limitation of OLE.
