    Hi everyone,

    I was trying to fit my finished drawing into an appropriate paper size
    for printing out. However, I don't really know how to make the drawing
    to perfectly fit in paper size. Could anyone help me with it?

    Thanks~!

    By "fit to paper size," do you mean you want to plot at no particular
    rational scale, and just fit everything onto the sheet? If so, then the
    correct options would be to Plot "to fit," and possibly "Window" to select
    just the part of the drawing you wish to fit onto the sheet.

    If you mean to plot to a particular scale, then just specify a scale that
    fits everything on your sheet -- noting that a "rational" scale may not
    entirely fill your sheet.

    If you're correctly using paper space (layouts) then your border and title
    information should be designed to fit your sheet when plotted at 1:1,
    allowing for the blank borders that are normally required by each particular
    printer/plotter.

    If this doesn't answer your question, tell us more.

    "blank borders" would be the margins...
