actually the plot offset number should be zeros....

IF you have set your title block/border and inked area limits correctly.

Exactly .. me thinks this is not the case. The example you provided does not either if you 'Apply to Layout'.

it works here...

Cannot set your pagesetup to current .. does not like it because it's missing a defined ctb.

interesting it is using the NONE ctb...

here it is with the bone stock acad.ctb

Okay, I remember setting paper size and printable area but that was a long time ago. I am perfectly capable of math. Suddenly it makes more sense...if I set margins to .5 all around and Plot Offset to 0,0 it will / should show if my printable area is sized and / or located properly. Is that correct?

[mjfarrell]

yes

This is what I see when I open your first example (assuming you had already set the setup to current).

That is a 1" x 1" square through a 1 : 1 viewport.

Printing...

[Bethrine]

The border is not where I want it but my square comes out at less then 1/32" short of an inch in both x and y directions.

Lunch break be back in 30. Feel free to discuss.

b sure the pdf is NOT scaling or FIT-ting  must chose ACTUAL SIZE

some were not doing that correctly here and were complaining about drawings being scaled when plotted

no offsets in my page setup

FWIW .. here's how our titleblock is constructed. It has a border the size of the paper that does not plot so the titleblock always has equal bottom, top & right margins then the left margin is a little bigger for binding. It's inserted\xref on each tab @ 0,0 and plotted by layout or extents ... either works.

Yup .. saw that. Your page size is not 11x17 either (name of the setup).

noted and fixed that @ 2nd posting of the file (Sample.dwg)

The point being the process works as described.

How do I get to that window?
