When you prepare to plot a layout, you can specify the plot area to determine what will be included in the plot.
To specify the plot area, use the PlotType property. This property requires one of the following values as input:
- acDisplay
- Prints everything that is in the current model space display. This option is unavailable when plotting from a paper space layout.
- acExtents
- Prints everything that falls within the boundaries of the currently selected space.
- acLimits
- Prints everything that is in the limits of the current space.
- acView
- Prints the view named by the ViewToPlot property.
- acWindow
- Prints everything in the window specified by the SetWindowToPlot method.
- acLayout
- Prints everything that falls within the margins of the specified paper size. This option is not available when printing from model space.
Note: When you create a new paper space layout, the default option is acLayout.
