Plotting Problem (borders shown, texts incomplete)

[Jeff H]

Sorry i am getting confused,

 

What is the problem you are trying solve?

 

With drawing you uploaded what I do I need to look at?

 

 

With drawing you uploaded what steps do i need to do to try to produce the same problem or what steps did you do to produce problem?

 

What layout in the drawing you uploaded causes the problem?

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I have a similar problem.

 

Both of my issues are with Excel files, the borders, frames and whatever would print fine, but the text within just wouldn't print. I changed layouts, paper size, aligned printers etc. to no avail.

 

I can replicate this issue simply by placing some text written using AutoCAD's own text editor and placing my excel table below and both would print fine. So it appears there is some invisible border preventing text from Excel to print?

 

Bump for more help.

A good thing to do is upload a example that produces the problem, or make a smaller condensed simple example.

 

In your case just create a excel file and type a couple letters in a couple cells and create drawing with that excel file then load it up.

 

This is a simple stupid example but with this someone can easily figure it out because the uploaded file has the dwg used that will not plot text visible in model space, the excel file in same folder that is linked and contains the text , a pdf created from a plot that produces a plot that does not show text that is visible in model space.

 

Now someone can easily look at settings, varibles, etc... and explain why it does plot and how to correct it.

Im sorry Jeff. I want to print my drawing showing the complete texts, but not with the pdf, because it will affect the scale of my drawing.

 

Can you please try to print my drawing using your printer?

 

The recent image I uploaded here, is the LAYOUT I used when I am about to print the drawing. It shows that it is not exceeding the printed area. Everything is correct, but when I have the printed drawing, texts were incomplete.

I guess you mean to print layout 3 and if so then the

text is cut off when printed on 8.5x11 but it is not cutting the text off for the same reason your text is.

 

If I send it to the printer as is the plot settings are set to print on paper 8.5x13 inches

Looking at the picture yellow is the total area to be printed and red is the size of the paper being printed on.

 

Here is print preview but it actually prints all the way to edge

 

Your pic shows a area that is covered or masked and inside the printing area,

you can see how the edge is linear indicated by red line

 

So I do not think I can be any help unless I can look at the exact drawing that was used to produce that picture

The drawing is already a scaled entity of 1:200,000 and as such in its 1:1 format (as it, with its scale-down) it will not fit the legal paper size and hence you have to re-scale down the scaled-down drawing to fully fit within the legal paper size or any other paper size. If you want draw the actual legal paper size in the model space and see if the difference. Here is a pdf version.
