printing in CATIA V4, need help with configuration

[ggiles]

Hi,
I haven't had a reason until now to print of a large format print onto a smallerpaper size until now. I Want to scale down a 36" wide print x what ever to a 18" wide print by whatever length. I can seem to get the plotting configurations right in CATIA to do it. I've gone into the layout to play with the frame and window sizes but I just haven't had enough experience with printing from CATIA. The drawings also have alot ow white coloured lines and text which doesn't print as a solid line. How do I get it to print as a solid line with out changing the text and lines to a different colour?

Thanks for any advise.

Hello,

if your plotter understands PS try out this parameter section in your plt_cfg file. The MAP parameters refer to an A4 in this example.
