[Plot Settings](Plot%20Drawings/Plot%20Settings--cb472bb0d873.md) Set the plotter, paper size, printable area, the position of the plot and the drawing orientation can all be set before you plot the drawing. [Control How Objects Are Plotted](Plot%20Drawings/Control%20How%20Objects%20Are%20Plotted--e7ccbd4515e9.md) By setting the plot scale, using the plot styles and plot style tables and setting an object's layer properties, you can control how objects are plotted.
