To Specify Custom Properties for Plotters

Set custom properties for the device you use to plot your drawings.

The settings for each plotter vary. If the plotter manufacturer has not included a Custom Properties dialog box for the device driver, the Custom Properties option is unavailable. For other drivers, the Custom Properties option is the only tree view option available. For system printers, most of the device-specific settings are made in this dialog box.

  1. Click Application menu Print Manage Plotters.
  2. Double-click the plotter configuration (PC3) file whose custom properties you want to change.
  3. In the Plotter Configuration Editor, click the Device and Document Settings tab.
  4. In the tree view, select Custom Properties. Under Access Custom Dialog, click Custom Properties.
  5. Set the properties for the printer or plotter. The properties vary depending on the plotter and manufacturer. Click OK.
  6. Click OK.
