I was wondering if there were any way of increasing the size of the printout once a hard copy is printed up. The only way I could find to do this was via printer options (switching between portrait and landscape) but even when this was done, the available area on the sheet of paper was not put to the most efficient use possible.

Thanks in advance,

You would have to edit your plt file which if your not sure whats going on can be quite beleaguring. It defaults to the largest size, for instance if you have an E size (30x42) or D size (24X36) specified it will print that. A quick and easy way is to plot by fence. Choose the fence tool and make sure block is chosen when making your fence. Once you have the desired area with the fence, go to your plot button and from the drag down button that says Entity, choose fence. Hit preview and you should see the desired area.
