    Question problem with getting plots to center

    I have tried just about every setting in the page setup manager to get my plans to print with 1" borders.
    The only solution I have found at this point is to draw a polyline around the edge of the layout (in paper space) and then offset it by 1".
    And my plot area has to be set to "Layout".
    If I use any other settings my plots are off center and the edges get trimmed off.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on better ways of using page setup?
    I'm using C3D 2010 and plotting on an Oce TDS 400.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Oce seems pretty bad about ignoring the settings in AutoCAD. I created PC3 files and changing setting in the driver. Like under the Layout tab in the Transformation section. Also playing with the cut settings under the Basic tab.

    Glenn-Thanks for the response. I played with the cut settings that you mentioned. Still can't 1" borders without a line around the layout. What settings do you use? Thanks.

    Our set up if for having a half inch on 22"x34" sheet. We use the 450 so the driver options should be the same, but don't know for sure.

    We have the cutting method set to "Synchro".

    Advanced layout (More button under Layout tab) settings.
    Mirror = No
    Rotation = Printer default
    Alignment = Right

    Shift: checked
    Horizontal = 5
    Vertical = 0
    In the plot dialog we have the "plot upside-down" checked in the "Drawing orientation" section.
