Plotting the drawing
The following steps should produce a satisfactory plot in almost all circumstances, though specific brands and models of plotter or printer might sometimes vary the result. Writers call this introduction the CYA, or Cover Your Backside, statement.
Follow these steps to plot a drawing:
1 Click the Plot button on the Quick Access toolbar or press Ctrl+P.The Quick Access toolbar is at the left end of the program’s title bar, just to the right of the Application button. The Plot icon looks like an ordinary desktop printer.AutoCAD opens the Plot – Model dialog box, with the title bar showing what you’re plotting (Model, in this case). See Figure 3-10.If you don’t see all the option windows shown down the right side of the dialog box in Figure 3-10, click the arrow in the lower-right corner.
2 In the Printer/Plotter section, select a printer from the Name drop-down list.When in doubt, the Default Windows System Printer usually works.
3 In the Paper Size section, use the drop-down list to select a paper size that’s loaded in the printer or plotter.Anything Letter size (8½ x 11 inches) [A4 (210 x 297mm)] or larger works for this example.
