No plot margin after adjusting in page manager

Anonymous — Sun, 10 May 2015 05:32:20 GMT

Iam getting just a blank sheet on layout 2 after adjusting the sheet size and everything in Page Setup Manager. I should have a plot margin but I have nothing. Im using a hp laptop.

Hi,

what paper format have you set? There are formats that are defined without margins (or better margin = 0).

An upload of the drawing with that layout might help.

Hi,

I see the margins in your drawing.

If you don't see them then try to change to another paper format, if you see the margins then I guess you have a modified paper siize "ARCH C (24.00 x 18.00 Inches)" on your system or you have set it to a paper format that does not exist with a standard AutoCAD setup and my AutoCAD changed it during open to the next fitting one.

I've never seen it on my laptop but other computers are fine. Could it be the Autocad install? When Ive opened it at school it shows up on a different computer.

OPTIONS command, DISPLAY tab, post a screenshot from your laptop here or compare it to the same from A desktop where margins are visible.

Hi,

>> I've never seen it on my laptop but other computers are fine

You tested the same drawing on another workstation or a different drawing?

Have you modified the page-format "ARCH C (24.00 x 18.00 Inch)" for your DWF-plotter configuration?

Do you see the border if you use other plotter and/or other paper formats?

yea Ive seen it on other computers just fine. The only thing I did in page manager was change the printer to DWF6e.PLOT.pc3 in order to get the 24x18 sheet

Hi,

That was a real good catch from Dean.

I was irritated as you wrote "on Layout 2" ... that made me thinking on the other layout (in the same drawing, on the same workstation) you see the margins.

Good to know it's working now, - alfred -
