I posted a message last week (or week before) and still can not figure out how to fix this problem.

I have a few drawings that continue to cut the drawing short...when plotted.

Things I've done so far.....re-created PC3 file in 2005, ran a recover on file and xrefs, made sure page setup was point to correct files, purged file(s), made sure nothing is "floating" outside the cut lines, and checked drivers (although I wish I had a way to check if all the drivers are correct)......but 1 or 2 drawings still do not plot correctly.

I am using Acad 2005 w/ SP1, I use trim lines in the border that are set to 30x42, have modified paper size in PC3 to read full 30x42, trim lines are on plot-able layer, plotting to Oce 9400.......if I call the drawing up in Acad 2000 and plot it ....it will come out fine.

I'm not sure what else to try......any thoughts?

We are having the same problem right now. what you can do temporarily is while you are in the plot dialog box change the X or Y coordinate number, depending on which one has moved and change the number so that you get a centered plot. You may have to do a trial and error on the numbers till you get the plot where you want it to be. (.12, .13, .5, .75, etc.)

We are having the same problems. I think it a problem from AutoCAD 2005 and the oce drivers. I we use a HPGL driver the plots are ok. a other option is to look at the vport. I find out that polygonal Viewport has problems when plotting with a oce driver and AutoCAD 2005. Use rectangle vports if possible.
