Plotting in Modelspace
You can plot what you are working on in modelspace at any time. This is usually done to create a test plot, so you (or your colleagues) can check and possibly mark up the evolving design on paper. In the following steps, you will create a test plot in modelspace.
- Open the Ch14-B.dwg file. If this file is not open, find it on the book's web page.
- Click the Plot tool in the Quick Access toolbar. Open the Name drop-down menu in the Plot – Model dialog box (see Figure 14.21). Observe that both a system printer and an AutoCAD plotter appear for the HP DesignJet 800 device. Click Cancel.
