Hi all, I have ben using Blue beam as my PDF plotter with great success up until a month or so ago. Now when I go to plot to 11x17 (or any other size I have since found out) it always shows the Effective Printing rea to be 8.50" x 11.00". When printing from any other software to the Bluebeam printer, 11x17 is in fact 11x17. Based on this, I assume the issue is within DataCAD.

Can anyone point me to where I can change paper default sizes within DataCAD? When I go to Properties form the Bluebeam Printer Settings, everything is greyed out. See attached.

I am using DataCAD Version 21.03.12.00 (PE)

Thanks

What do you see if you use the standard DCad printing routine (saving as the PDF instead of printing it)?
