Plot question

Plot question

Plot question

(OP)
Hi,

I not really an experienced AutoCAD LT user.  I don't have access to a plotter, only a normal laser printer for 81/2" x 11"  paper format.

I have a drawing which would be better represented on 2 sheets rater than one.  My question is :  is there a way I could use 2 layout to print my drawing but it would be important that the 2 drawings fit together perfectly.  How can I do this? (please be specific)

thanks

RE: Plot question

You will probably not be able to do what you want exactly. Laser printers do not print to the edge of the paper so you will have a gap between the images. The only way you will probably do what you want is to print with a scaled window and then trim the paper afterwards to make the images "fit" together.
