Hello,
In my line of work I regularly need to print A0-size or lager drawings.
When I use Autocad for Windows I do the following:
The height of the drawings is usually always to same so when creating a custom paper size I set that at 841mm.
The width of the drawings is different with each drawing so in the custom paper size I set that at 2500mm, so I have a custom paper size of 841x2500mm.
That way I can adjust the width of my viewport to suit my needs and I don't have to create a different paper size for each drawing that is lager than the A0 standard of 841x1189, and I can set it so that the printer automatically cuts of the excess white space of the custom size.
(For example: I have a drawing of 841x1500. I select the custom paper size of 841x2500, and the printer automatically cuts of the excess 1000mm so I don't end up with a 2500mm long paper with 1000mm of excess white space).
Now, when I try the same workflow in Autocad for Mac I run into a problem.
No matter what settings I use, the printer always prints out the excess white space of the drawing, so I always end up with 2500mm papers with excess white space. Both when printing and when creating a pdf.
Does someone have any advice how to fix this? Can you set Mac so when printing the printer cuts of the white space?
Thanks in advance.
