Plotting in CAD

[Gary Prentice]

I don't feel that I should be wasting their time on novice user problems, without at least attempting to resolve it myself. (or rather asking the members on here!)

 

If anyone has a bit of spare time to explain how they plot the Tree Protection Fencing layout, in respect to the real panel lengths, that would be really useful. If not I'm sure I'll come across the answer in 'Dummies'.

 

It might not sound it, but I really enjoy working with and learning this. I was staggered to learn that there are over 1300 commands available!

Assuming it works the same way as standard Autocad just plot as 'DWG to pdf' and set the page size to A0 then it will look as it does on the screen. Another way is to set the line weight for the text to 0.0mm but it is more of a ball ache to do unless you have all the text as the same layer where you can use qselect to select all the text at once.

 

That's done the trick, plot to third party app (as Paul suggested) set to A0 and it's come out fine. I didn't realise that changes in name of printer also gives different choices in sizing too:confused1:

 

Thank you.
