Plotting a PDF

I have a large drawing that I'd like to plot as a pdf. However I do not want my PDF to be limited to a standard paper size so that my whole drawing can fit and be readable including having people being able to zoom in.

How 'bout setting your "What to plot" to Extents, Center the plot, scale to fit, and select a big paper like E size?  You can also set some quality setting for the DWG to PDF so that when zooming it will be high quality.

 

Any good?

Kinda. It creates a big white border on the top and bottom.

I saved it as 2013 so hopefully it is compatible.

Hello,

 

Because of your Length of the SLD is more compared to the width that's why you are getting a space on the bottom & top 

of your model when plotting.

For example

11.JPG

 

With higher length and small width.

12.JPG

With almost same ratio.

 

Editing your drawing can get you better results.

 

The maximum I got from you drawing was using this settings without editing your drawing.

PDF Attached. Hope it helps.

 

 

Cheers,
