Plot DWG to PDF - layout is not centred on the page

Hello, 

 

I am modifying a drawing template on a new Mac (I had previously used windows). And when I try to plot to pdf, the layout that had worked fine is off-set. I am attaching screen shots of what I see for reference. Could you please help?

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

 

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Everything seems correct on the screenshots.

Can you attach here the template drawing itself?

Hello @maxim_k , 

 

thank you for your reply. I saw that you had helped with similar issues before, but I couldn't figure out how to fix mine. So I really appreciate your help. Attached is the template.

You need to edit Page Setup for the Layout - change paper size to "ARCH full bleed D (36.00 x 24.00 inches)" and select "layout" in "What to print" section:

@maxim_k 

just tried it - it works! Thank you SO much. I'm really grateful. 

Out of curiosity - what was the issue?

I think it was wrong (or corrupted for some reason) Page Setup.
