Question
WHEN PRINTING A DOCUMENT ON LAND DESKTOP 2006 OUT OF PAPER SPACE THE BORDER IS ALWAYS PUSHED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAPER. I HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE THE PLOT OFFSET AS WELL AS JUST CENTERING THE DOCUMENT. MY BOSS WOULD LIKE A LARGER BORDER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAPER.
Chad:
I'm using ADT 2006, so the method can't be much different. Instead of printing extents, I find it works best to print to a window. That way no matter what happens to extents, the plot area is strictly defined. The nice thing about 2006 is that you can tell it to center, the numbers change to center the plot, but then you can uncheck the box and the numbers are still centered. Then you can offset the X axis from there.
Let me know how it goes, and give me ALL the details.

Expertise
I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.
Experience
I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.
Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
