Set the Plot Area
 
 
 

When you prepare to plot a layout, you can specify the plot area to determine what will be included in the plot. To specify the plot area, use the PlotType property. This property requires one of the following values as input:

acDisplay

Prints everything that is in the current model space display. This option is unavailable when plotting from a paper space layout.

acExtents

Prints everything that falls within the boundaries of the currently selected space.

acLimits

Prints everything that is in the limits of the current space.

acView

Prints the view named by the ViewToPlot property.

acWindow

Prints everything in the window specified by the SetWindowToPlot method.

acLayout

Prints everything that falls within the margins of the specified paper size. This option is not available when printing from model space.

When you create a new paper space layout, the default option is acLayout.
