How should I bring images into AutoCAD?
Go to Insert > Raster Image and select the image. Common image file types like .jpg, .pict, .gif, .tif, etc. can be inserted. Inserting an image that is larger than 300dpi can make the file slow to handle.
If my document does not plot correctly, is there anything else I can try?
Make sure that all of your settings are correct. If it still does not plot correctly, you can try creating a PDF first by selecting Adobe PDF as your printer and reformatting your file. Then send your file to the plotter using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
How can I rotate my plotted image to minimize paper waste?
To rotate your image to make the most efficient use of the length of the plotter roll, follow these steps:
-
Go to File > Print.
-
Click Properties (Figure 1).
-
Select Features tab (Figure 2).
-
Check "Rotate by 90 degrees."
