- [Instructor] Once again,
we're in our GF 1031 Southeast Madison drawing.
And what we're going to do now,
now that we've set up our page setup, our view port,
our annotative scaling,
is we're going to look at how we can quickly plot
this particular layout tab.
It's all set up and ready to go.
We've got our title block.
We've got our notes.
There's our view port there at a one to a hundred.
So it's a standard scale.
All of our annotative scaling is working
with our dimensions as well.
So all we've got to do now, is come down to the layout tab,
the ISO A1 Landscape layout tab,
right click on it and click on plot.
So what it'll do now is it'll show me all the plot settings
based on the page setup that the layout tab is using.
You'll remember,
we set up our ISO A1 L for Landscape PDF page setup.
Now I can go to the drop down there
and pick different page setups
if I've got different ones as well.
I can add a page setup as well.
So that will allow me to add some settings
to a specific page setup too.
Now, what I can do here is before I hit that okay button
and plot or print to this particular PDF type,
I can preview it, so I can click on preview
and there's my preview there.
Now you'll notice it looks a bit gray
that's because I'm using that gray scale setting
in my page setup.
If I gone for monochrome, everything would be simply
black and white, but the gray scale's quite nice
because when I zoom in,
you'll notice,
let that just sort of rejig itself a little bit.
Can you see I've got differing shades of gray
for differing lines and line types
and it makes things stand out
like the columns and the doors and so on.
I can see what's going on with the gray scale there.
It works really well in a drawing.
So what I'll do there is I'll just right click
and zoom original, which was the original view.
I'm happy with that.
So I can right click and hit plot.
And it'll prompt me to save my PDF somewhere.
Now I'm not going to expect you to do that.
I'm just going to click on exit
and that'll take me back to the plot dialogue box.
I'm not going to plot,
I'm just going to click on cancel.
But that's how quick and easy it is
to plot your drawing from your layout tab.
