I created a blank file and imported a titleblock i had.
Now i'm trying to plot using the option Plot Area: Layout.
But the drawing is all over the place depending on the scale.
If i set the scale 1:1 the preview shows blank
if i set the sacle 1:5 the preview shows drawing cut in half.
The plot offset is set to 0 everywhere, so why my drawing walking around?
And how do i center?
I cant figure it out!
(Sure i could use the option Plot Area: Window, but i want to learn how Plot Area Layour works and what is wrong)
If you're plotting a paper space Layout, the plotting scale should be 1:1, not 1:5. Do the scaling in the settings for the Viewport(s).
I put scale 1:5 to show how it moved around on the plot preview.
But even setting everything to 1:1 it doesn't work.
Maybe the issue could be in some config on my computer?
I created a new layout as you suggested and it now shows a dashed pritable area and appears on the layout but doesnt fit quite right yet.
I fiddled with too many settings im afraid i broke something x).
Any reason you don't want to select Window area to plot instead of Layout?
Also your title block measures exactly A0 size at 1:1, why set the scale to 1:5?
There's a Center option in the Plot window as well.
