Plotting on a HP 800 42" from ProE

[premier55]

We are running ProE Wildfire and we just purchased a HP 800 42" plotter. When plotting a standard D size drawing from ProE I keep getting the leading and trailing edge borders cut-off due to the standard margins within HP (.7" per edge). Does anyone have any suggestions on resolving this issue, it is driving me nuts????

We are creating an offset of 6mm or 1/4" in both the x & y. No matter what software we are using to create drawing in; .tif, .tiff, .pdf.

It seems to be a Pro/E issue versus the HP or Adobe print drivers.

Have you tested the plot_translate option in your plotter configuration file <filename.pcf>? I had a similiar problem with a HP designjet 500.

Do you trust your intuition or go with the flow?

Heckler,

No I have not. How do you go about doing this?

Thanks for your help.

Premier55,

I don't use WildFire so I'm not sure. You would have to do a search on the help files.
