2005 - Plotter Config Editor - Metric |
|
|
How do I get "printable area" to read metric units in Plotter Configuration
Editor when I click on Modify Standard Paper Sizes? In 2002, there is a
radio button for inches / mm on the Plot Settings page. Printable area is
shown there as well.

Can we assume you are using 2k4?.. as there is a patch avail for 2k5
that re-institutes that option..

This is 2005 (stated in the subject). The patch addresses scale and offset,
not printable area. And, the conversion is wrong, but close enough. When I
am in Plotter Configuration Editor, and click on Modify Standard Paper Sizes
(Printable Area), then 11*17, I am shown
LR:0.19",0.19" Printable Area: 10.62" * 16.62". In 2002, I click on the mm
radio button and my printable area shows as 269.77 * 422.17.

Which conversion is wrong?
11"-2*0.19"=10.62" >> 269.77 / 25.4 = 10.62087"
17"-2*0.19"=16.62" >> 422.17 / 25.4 = 16.62087"
Isn't that close enough?

As I stated, it is close enough. 10.62 * 25.4 = 269.748 on my calculator.
And FYI, I think in plotter units which is .025mm. Do you have an answer to
the OP or would you like to discuss something else?
