The printable area of a drawing sheet is defined by the selected output device and is represented by the dashed line in a layout.
The plot offset specifies an offset of the plot area relative to the lower-left corner (the origin) of the printable area or the edge of the paper.
You can offset the geometry on the paper by entering a positive or negative value in the X and Y Offset boxes. However, this may result in the plot area being clipped.
If you choose to plot an area other than the entire layout, you can also center the plot on the sheet of paper.
