  Plot object

The set of methods and properties used for plotting layouts.

VBA class name:

AcadPlot 

Create using:

N/A 

Access via:

Document.Plot 

This object contains the methods and properties that initiate a plot of specified layouts. You can choose to:

To plot in the foreground using VBA, you must set the BACKGROUNDPLOT system variable to 0. Otherwise, plotting occurs in the background.

To specify the layouts to plot, use the SetLayoutsToPlot method. This method must be called before each PlotToDevice or PlotToFile method. If SetLayoutsToPlot is not called, or is called with a NULL input, the active layout will be plotted.

The NumberOfCopies property specifies the number of copies to plot. If this property is not reset before each PlotToDevice call, the last value specified in the NumberOfCopies property will be used.

You cannot create a configured plotter (PC3) file using ActiveX. To create a PC3 file, use the Add-a-Plotter wizard in AutoCAD. If you want to use a PC3 file for plotting, the file should be located in the Plotters folder. For more information, see the AutoCAD user documentation.
