Rotating a Plot

Rotating a Drawing from the Front Panel

Your Drawing can only be rotated from the Page format / Rotate option in the front panel if:

Queueing and Nesting are off (see page 6-10), and

the file contains no raster data.

If you are using the Microsoft Windows driver supplied with this plotter, your files do contain raster data and therefore you cannot use this Rotate option. The normal line drawings of most CAD software do not contain raster data, and can use this Rotate option.

To Rotate a Plot from the Front Panel

Except in the circumstances stated above, you can rotate a plot from the plotter's front panel, without changing the drawing in your software. The options are 90, 180 or 270 degrees relative to the drawing's orientation in your software. The rotation is counterclockwise, as shown below.
