Plot

In the document object browser, you can select to plot multiple documents from the document list.

Note: If the drawing sheet or the drawing views of a document contain objects whose color is white or close to white, they are plotted in black color.

Do the following:

  1. In the document object browser, select the documents to plot.

  2. Right-click the selection and select Plot from the context menu. The Print Setup dialog opens.

  3. Specify the printing options and click OK. The Plot dialog opens.

  4. Define the plot settings:

    • Name – Enter a name for the document.

    • Plot directory – Define the directory to use for the plotting files.

    • Operator message – Enter a message for the operator.

    • Plotter – You can open the printing options by clicking Configure printer.

    • Plot sheet – This is automatically set based on the paper size selected in the printing options.

    • Plot scale – This is automatically set based on the paper size selected in the printing options.

    • Line width scale – Define how to scale the line widths. Values between 0.5 and 1 make the lines thicker, and values larger than 1 make them thinner.

      For example, when a larger sheet size is scaled to fit on a smaller paper size, thinner lines make the document easier to read.

    • Alignment – Select how to align the document horizontally and vertically.

    • Rotate – Select whether to rotate the document.

    • Split – Select whether to split the document.

    • Plot scheduling – Select whether to plot immediately or later.

  5. Click OK. The Save Print Output As dialog opens.

  6. Select the saving location, enter the file name, and click Save.
