irwin5338 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 So, an engineer in my office wants a long plot os a plant we are doing. I am unsure how to do it. The size paper he wants is like 24" x 252". Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 It would help if you had a plotter/printer that has roll feed. Did you try clicking on the Properties button in the Plot dialog box and checking for a Custom Paper Sizes option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irwin5338 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I did try to look for that but I couldn't really find much in there. I believe that the plotter does have a roll feed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 And what is the make/model of plotter being used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Did you try Modify Standard Paper Sizes (Printable Area)? You would have to highlight Custom Size then click on the Modify button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irwin5338 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I figured it out... I had to install a different printer that would enable me to create my own custom paper size... He now has a bedsheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
