NX3 Plotter help

NX3 Plotter help

(OP)
I am in need of help seting up my plotter.  I have gone through and set up the printer, along with the paper sizes, alignment, etc.  When I try to plot the top 1/4 inch of drawing is being cut off.  I have my settings with no margins, and set up to print to an 11x17" page, and best fit to page.  Also, my sheet size is 10.85" x 17", and my title block is 10.82 x 16.711.  Any suggestios on how to get this to print the entire image?  Thanks

RE: NX3 Plotter help

It might work better if you use print to scale instead of best fit, and then just make sure your sheet size matches your paper size.  If your are printing a scaled down version of the plot view, we found it better/easier/always done it that way, to set the plotter to "print to file", and then print the new file.  We keep all prints on a server, so this was better for us.
Hope this helps,
Rick

That worked along with playing arounw with the shifting in the vertical and horizontal a little bit.
