Plotting Using VBA 1

[LumpoDelMagnifico]

I am having a major problem with plotting and it has only gotten worse as I have played with it.

I want to Plot the current Drawing Using VBA. I want the drawing to be centered, I want it to print to extents and I want the plot to scale to fit the page. Can someone show me how I do this?

I believe that you need to use plotconfiguration object in VBA. This object has 11 methods and 32 properties. Examples for each these properties and methods are included in the ACAD online Help.

Hope this helps

I can't find any documentation on plotconfiguration in the ACAD help files and I can't seem to find this online could you either provide a link or post some examples please?

Just an FYI, you could easily make printing buttons in LISP, if you have some "Set" ways of plotting. Just another idea...

(command "-PLOT" "Y" "Layout1" PRINTER PAPSZ "Millimeters" "Landscape" "N" "Window" PT1 PT2 "1=1" "0,0" "Y" "Standard.ctb" "Y" "N" "N" "N" "N" "Y" "N")
