Specifies the use of hard clip limits.
The 7580, 7585, 7586, DraftPro DXL/EXL, DraftMaster I, 7586B, and 7596A plotters return hard clip limits to AutoCAD. This requires two-way communication between AutoCAD and the plotter. The plotter sends AutoCAD the installed paper's exact plot area; AutoCAD positions the plot on the paper based on the actual sheet size. If you clear the Request for Hard Clip Limits from Plotter options, AutoCAD positions the plot based on the configured paper size. In most cases, you need to adjust the configured paper size to reflect the actual printable area of the device. Otherwise, your plot might be clipped. You can adjust the location of the plot on the paper by changing the plot origin.
