I'm having a problem sorry inherited a problem that when we print out drawings the drawing borders are not central to the paper they are printed on. Has anyone any idea as to why this would be happening?

Cheers

If you use a .pcf file to control you plots you can move the area using following line:


plot_translate -0.15 0


Long time since I did this but I think it is x and y offset in inches


hope it will be of some help

Cheers Anders this has helped to a certain extent
 
I print from a pdf. We have a OCE TDS600 and it is worth (#$* when printing with proe. I can get exactly what i want if i use a pdf. I have tried playing around with the setting but have been unsuccessful.
 
Begin every .pcf with "plotter postscript" if possible and skip all pre-defined plotter models in the list.
Makes it soo much easier to controltheoutput withthe pcf file.
