Hi,

 

>> both edge is cut off

What is meant by "both", left and right, or top and bottom, or ...?

 

What happens when you use the device "AutoCAD PDF (General Documentation).pc3" to create an A3-PDF file ... and then print the PDF with 100% to your printer?

As you are in hurry I guess that's the best we can suggest know.

 

To go more deep it needs to look into the drawing + the PC3 + the PMP (if there exists one) + a photo from what you are getting on paper.

Version of AutoCAD + operating system might be important info's too.

Hi,

 

>> i remember it happen when i install autocad 2020

Half information ... does that mean you had installed a different version of AutoCAD before and that was working well? If so did you migrate settings? If you migrated settings then this might have imported not just settings. If you have not done too many customization you might reset the AutoCAD profile to default (>>>details<<<), next time when AutoCAD starts please do NOT migrate settings and try plotting again.

 

>> i ask for future use

Well, to get an answer for the future we have to inspect the data you have now, so you can avoid to do the same again.
