    Default lost plot control

    I have just upgraded from 2012 to 2014 Premium suite. I've lost control of the ability to use my page setups. Drawings created in 2012 print fine when opened & printed from 2012. The same drawings opened in 2014 preview OK but print rotated on a sheet. Our drawings are positioned such that we use center the plot as our standard and I've noticed that the plot dialog indicates (grayed out) some x,y settings of 5.something and 6.something. Those numbers have never shown up before. That may be a clue or not. In paper space the drawing looks centered and the preview is good too, but it prints sideways. I'm using the same driver for 2012 and 2014. Any ideas? Could my install be corrupt?

    If you're centering the plots, then the x-y offests will be shown greyed out and nonteditable. uncheck 'centerd' and you can then edit them

    As for the other, sounds like a plotter setting that's simply rotating them the wrong way, or confusing landscape for portrait. Do you get the same problem if printing to DWF?

    Dwf and pdf both print perfectly. reading my original post reveals that I left out the most important detail. We use a kyocera kw4850w plotter. I'm convinced that it's the print driver that is having difficulty with 2014. I'd like to hear from anyone with my model of KW and 2014 about there experience.
