I’m happy to wait the couple of seconds it takes to spool the plot file. You can turn on ‘Enable background plot when Plotting’ If you want, but I find it slows my machine down and makes it a bit buggy. This means that you can continue working while your plot files spool. This option enable background plotting and publishing. This will also be the default location for PDF’s, DWF’s or any other electronic ‘Print’ files, such as Jpegs. If you use the ‘Plot to file’ option in the plotter dialog, this will be the default location for your PLT file. You can use the ‘Add or configure Plotters’ button to create Autocad specific drivers for your Printers/Plotters or add plotter drivers to Autocad that aren’t available to your other windows programs (More on that another time). This could mean that standard windows documents get sent to the office A4 Printer, while Autocad documents go to your large format plotter.
This allows you to set a different default printer to your standard windows printer.
You should see something like the screen shot below (Click for a larger Image).ġ. Default plot settings for new drawings Once you have the ‘Options’ Dialogue open, navigate your way to the ‘ Plot and Publish’ tab.
