I received a question in the past hour on Twitter from @JenniRene82 “Jennifer” asking how to plot a 30 x 42 paper size PDF using AutoCAD for Mac. Here is a quick Tutorial.

I am starting with a drawing in AutoCAD for Mac of a Stage Light Layout Design by David R. Steinmetz of Set Works Inc. http://www.setworksinc.com/.

We have the drawing all ready to plot use the PRINT or PLOT command to bring up the print dialog. I then select the down arrow to expand the print dialog.

Select the Paper Size dropdown

From the available paper sizes select Manage Custom Sizes.

Now add a custom paper size for 30” tall x 42” wide
.

Name the new paper size and then select OK.

Name your PDF and set the location of the file to be created.

Now you have a 30 x 42 PDF and you are done!

Thanks for the question Jennifer!

Cheers,
