    why is it that in some drawings print portrait when set to print landscape?

    what should the default setting of the printer be set as? (A3 paper landscape)

    I think that conventional printers think that "the world is in portrait
    format", (i.e. data sent by default is printed in portrait) whereas plotters
    think "that the world is in landscape format", so a drawing which fits the
    screen well (horizontal size is the largest) will usually need rotating at
    plot time for a printer, but not for a plotter.
