Plot Stamp On

Plot Stamp On
The Plot Stamp feature lets you place pertinent data on the drawing in a location you choose. This
data includes the drawing name, date and time, scale, and other data. When you click the Plot
Stamp On check box to turn on this option, an additional button appears.
Click this button to gain access to the Plot Stamp dialog box. This dialog box offers many controls
over the plot stamp. This is a fairly extensive tool, so rather than fill this chapter with a description
of all its features, see Appendix B for a complete rundown of the Plot Stamp options.



Save Changes to Layout
When this option is turned on, the changes you make to Plot dialog box settings are saved with the
current layout. You’ll learn more about layouts in the next section.
TIP The Plot dialog box has the usual OK, Cancel, and Help buttons at the bottom. You’ll also see
the Apply To Layout button. This button lets you save the plot settings you make without sending
your drawing to the printer or plotter for output. This option is convenient for those times when
you decide halfway through your plot setup not to plot your drawing.
