And did you also get copies of the drawings that are being xreffed? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

yes and all in one file organized in paper space but plot windows or extent and other options did not give the whole drawing. |

What exactly is missing? Does it have anything to do with the xrefs? If you are plotting from a layout then you do not want to be plotting using the "Window" or "Extents" option. You want to be using the "Layout" option. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

the layout is organized in the paper space for plotting with the title block.
I have tried all options to print the layout, extent and windows but it gave a very small corner of it. Please let me know If I can send the file in PM as I can not uploaded in puplic. Thank you |

There are other variables than just whether you're plotting the layout or the extents. Could your plotting scale be way off? In paper space, presumably it should be full size [1:1].
