Workflow: To Create Plots

Create plots by converting existing AutoCAD objects, or create plots directly using the Plot Layout Tools toolbar.

AutoCAD objects that you can convert to plots include closed polylines, and other closed sequences of lines or arcs. If you are converting AutoCAD objects, they must be free of drawing errors. Use the drawing cleanup tools in AutoCAD Map 3D to accomplish this before you convert the objects.

Create plots

Create plots from objects by importing AutoCAD objects, by layout using the Plot layout toolbar, or subdivide existing plots to create new plots.
