plotting with no margins

[Rudbeckia]

hello cad folks

 

i want to plot a page with no margins, so the image will look like its running off the page, can this be done in cad?

 

the attached image is my layout, i want to plot it where the box is and not have a margin

 

any help much appreciated

That's up to your printer, not Autocad.

You can adjust your printable area in Autocad:

1. Open up your Plot dialog

2. Select your Plotter

3. Click the Properties button

4. Select "Modify Standard Paper Sizes (Printable Area)"

5. Select your paper size

6. Click the Modify button

7. Set the Top, Bottom, Left and Right to 0.00

 

This will give you the maximum printable area in Autocad, but there's no guarantee your printer will be able to comply.

thanks for the help, I am actually taking it to a professional print place, but i cant send them the dwg file and they print it for me from layout i have to make it a pdf or jpeg or something else, i will try what you said

You would be better off doing this in a program like Photoshop where you can extend the image all the way to the edge. Then you can create a pdf or jpg with no border.
