PLOT 3 APPEARANCE Controlling your plot's appearance Rotating a plot The Rotate feature and clipped plots With either roll or sheet media, if you rotate to landscape a plot whose original orientation was portrait, the media may not be wide enough for the drawing, which may be clipped. For example, rotating by 90_ a portrait D/A1-size plot on D/A1-size media will probably result in a clipped plot. Clipping does not occur with Auto rotate, which checks whether the rotated plot will fit. How does Rotate interact with your software? The plotter adds the rotation setting to any rotation angle you specify in your software. For software applications which, like the plotter, rotate counterclockwise (for example, CorelDRAW!) the result is the sum. For example, if your software specifies 180 degrees rotation, and you set Rotate 90_ in the Setup Sheet, your plot's final rotation will be 270 degrees. For software applications which rotate clockwise (for example, AutoCAD) the result is the difference. For example, if your software specifies 90 degrees rotation, and you set Rotate 90_ in the Setup Sheet, there will be no rotation. Auto rotate behaves in the same way, if media could be saved. Note that Auto rotate will rotate a plot to save media, even if you have chosen a best-fit page size in the Setup Sheet (see page 1-19). However the effects may not be what you expect. 3-9
