CAD Lab Support

If you are trying to plot onto Tabloid (11" x 17") sized paper and the printer is printing it on Letter (8-1/2" x 11") sized paper follow these steps:

1. In AutoCAD open “Page Setup”.



2. Ensure one of the CAD Lab Printers is selected, then click the  button and the “Plotter Configuration Editor” window will open.



3. From the “Plotter Configuration Editor” click the  button and the “Document Properties” window will open.



4. In the “Paper” tab, use the pull down menu for “Fit to Paper” and select “Use same Size”, if not already selected.



5. Click the “OK” button.  You may be prompted to save the changes you have made to the plotter.  Save the plotter to the D:\ or O:\ drive and then you should be able to print normally to Tabloid sized paper.
