Creating a custom plot configuration

The ArcGIS Image Server AutoCAD client application allows you to plot an image service with high resolution using the IS_Plot command. This command allows you to request high-resolution imagery for plotting. Prior to using IS_Plot command, you must create a page setup, which can be done in the Page Setup dialog box.

Steps:
  1. Type _pagesetup in the AutoCAD command prompt or click the Page Setup Manager option in the File menu.

    In the Page Setup Manager dialog box, you can create a new page setup and set it as a current page setup or select a current page setup directly from the Page setups list.
