How to plot or print and get lineweights setup in settings to come out correctly?

How to print to scale, even when drawing is set to appropriate scale in layout page?

How to cleanup drawings in plotmaker, ike removing unwanted lines, is this possible?

Can I draw in the 3D model or at least move items vertically or horizontally?

when you import your dawings to plotmaker they come in to the same settings that were specified in AC.

if you are talking about plotmaker to print something to a different scale than page specified you must right click on the drawing in your navigator and left click on the drawing settings. Under atributes update rules click on the custom button the on the scale. this will uncheck the box. then click on attrubutes and set your scale in the drop box.

If you double click on the drawing in the navigator it will pull the drawing up where you can make minor adjustments but it is better if you update your drawing by working on it in archi-cad and then re-publish. you can then update your drawing by right-clicking on the drawing in the navigator and clicking update. you can also set up new views in the archicad navigator that will publish so you can customize them to your specific needs.

Most items you can move in the 3-d model BEFORE you render them. you must first click on the item you wish to move and drag it around. your pet pallete will give you your options of moving things in the 3-d model.

good luck and keep aarchitalking
