To Specify Plot Settings

  1. In the Infrastructure Administrator, do one of the following:
    • Click Enterprise and connect to the enterprise industry model. Open a project.
    • Click File and open an industry model drawing or template.
  2. Under the Industry Model node, select and expand the Plot node.
  3. On the right pane, in Plot Administrator, specify the settings as shown in the following table and then click Save.

    You can modify these settings when you create a plot in AutoCAD Map 3D toolset.

    Default Plot area Description
    Default Scale Specifies the default scale.
    Insertion Point

    Specifies the real world coordinates within the industry model where the initial plot features will be created. For example, enter (600000, 200000).

    When you create a plot, or a plot template, these coordinates are used to display the page canvas. If these coordinates do not lie within the industry model’s spatial extents, you must modify the insertion point when you create a plot.

    Note: Enter coordinates that are valid for the spatial settings of the industry model, such as the spatial reference system, and the extents. See Creating a Project and its Industry Models.
    Note: You specify the current insertion point of the map place holders when you capture the area to plot.
    Island Map Setting area See"Plotting an Enterprise Industry Model Island Map" in the User's Guide.
    Define The Feature Class And The Buffers Used For Island Maps

    Displays all polygon feature classes of the selected industry model. Select one or more feature classes that can be used to specify the island map perimeter.

    First Buffer

    Specifies the default distance from a buffer to the island. Use buffers to expand the island out from the selected feature.

    In the display model, use the draw order to specify which features are displayed in the buffer.

    Second Buffer

    Specifies the default distance from a second buffer to the island.
