Page Set Up and Plotting

[chezronify]

I am trying to plot 11X17 and I am using Page Set Up Manager. When I go to preview the page is blank. Also, when I open page setup manager and choose the file I created and named for this (11x17 DWG to PDF) to plot the page size is 36x24. What am I doing wrong?

You have two different options selected in your provided screenshots, DISPLAY can be very random, WINDOW can sometimes miss the target.

If everything was identical to 1 or the other you might have better luck identifying the problem.

I tried all different settings for plot: display, window, extents, and limits. They are all blank.

Looks like your model is much to small or to big for 1:1

Change the Plotscale to fit and look at the ratio, is it near to 1:1 or far away?

TIP: Share your DWG is the best way to get help.

Or all your content is on a non-plot layer.

Here is the file. Ideally, I want to print the six different areas each on 11x17 in 1/8" scale. It may not be possible. They may be too big.

Here is the file.

Hi all,

I figured it out. I set up the page in Page Set Up Manager and until I "set as current" nothing shows on the layout page. So now after I set up the page I verify it is the right size with "measuregeom d" and THEN set as current. Only then, does the viewport and model show up. "Set Current" was what was holding me up.
