Plot - Scale to fit in Lisp command line not working?

I am trying to make my lisp program plot a layout with "Scale to Fit" enter on the command line, set from a variable, and it is not accepting it.

If I run this line:
(setq PLOTSCALE "Fit")

and then run this command sequence:
(command "-PLOT" "Y" "" "L1-5100.pc3" "A3" "M" "L" "N" "L" PLOTSCALE "0,0" "Y" "HPA-STD.ctb" "Y" "Y" "N" "N" "N" "N" "Y")

The print seems to come out at 1:1. I have also tried:
(setq PLOTSCALE "F")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Shane.

 

It looks like it should work. What are your llimits set to? Have you tried the exact same settings in the PLOT dialog to see if you get the same results?

 

That's the problem...I know it looks like it should work but it doesn't.

I'm not sure what limits have to do with it but there are set to
Lower Left: 0,0
Upper Right: 841,594

Back to you,

Shane.

 

The limits matter because the settings you posted have the plot area set to your limits. (the "L" right before PLOTSCALE). Every time you plot with those settings, everything within your limits will get fit onto the page.

Again, try manually entering these exact settings into your plot dialog to see if you get the same results. If you do, then the routine is fine and you just need to change your settings if you want the plot to look different.
