    Default Plotting a long plot in Revit

    Can anyone clue me in on the procedure for plotting a long (10') plot? I am trying to plot this on a Xerox 6204 Wide Format plotter. I cannot seem to do this in Revit or AutoCAD. Is there a help file or white paper somewhere on this? I am trying to plot on a 30" roll x 10'-0" long. What settings do I use? There does not seem to be a custom size setting for this plotter. Thanks for any help.

    I have a Xerox 6204 and I just ran a quick test and this is what I did:

    I created a 10 sheet myself, just a blank titleblock, 30"w & 10'long. I placed my view on the sheet and in the printer properties, under printer preferences, you'll want to select the size of your media as a longprint. So I selected Long Print - 30" Arch. If you select any of the long print sizes, you'll notice that the 'syncronized cut - custom length' field becomes availiable. Take whatever length you want the output to be and specify that length in millimeters (here's a link for the conversion), and you're done. Your sheet will come out at the specified width with the custom length that you gave it.

    Hope this helps. BTW, I've been happy with the 6204 (except the BT plot assist), how do you like it?

    Thanks - that did the trick! I thought maybe I needed to set up a different title block and sheet size. Yes - we really like the 6204 plotter, other than we miss having the color printing capabilities that our old ink jet gave us.
