Plot stamps (Sellos de la trama)

May-20-2011 | 09:36 |

Plot stamps, which are labels on plotted output that describe the drawing, are excellent for tracking paper drawings. By including a drawing name on your plots, you can correlate a paper drawing with an ZWCAD file. Date stamps give you control over plot versions, which is important when you are producing a lot of check plots or getting ready to submit a project. Plot stamps can also indicate who last worked on a file or the intended scale of the drawing. Plot stamping is a simple tool with enormous benefit.

Paper Space (Espacio del papel)

Paper space is an area used in ZWCAD to plot (print) the drawing created in model space. Paper space is a lot more powerful than simply letting us plot the entire model space drawing, we can set up views called Viewports within the paper space area to separately show different areas of the model space drawing. Paper space is actually a blank sheet, the separate viewports showing different views of the model are what creates a printable drawing.

Highlight plot area (Seleccione área de trazado)

When choosing the 'window' option to specifying a plot area, ZWCAD would show the workspace so that you could manually select a windowed plot area, and at the same time the whole workspace would be greyed out except the previously active window area. This was handy, because we can have as many two dozen title-blocks (and therefore separate viewports) in paperspace, and it helps knowing what plot area I last plotted or added as a saved page setup.
