Is there a way, when importing a AC project into Plotmaker to shape the drawing "window" in shapes other than a square or rectangle?? What if the room I am wanting to show is triangular, is there a way for the window to be triangular??

With the fill tool draw a polygon the shape you would like the window to be.
Select the fill and the drawing.
Choose Edit/Set Polygon as Drawing Frame.
