Quick Reference

You can import layout and plot settings contained in PCP or PC2 files into the current layout.

If you work with drawings created in AutoCAD Release 14 or earlier, you can choose to import layout and plot settings contained in a PCP or PC2 file and apply them to the current layout. Settings that are saved in a PCP or PC2 file include

Plot Area
Rotation
Paper Size
Plot Scale
Plot Origin
Plot Offset

In addition, a PC2 file contains any resolution information that has been modified by a plotter calibration. Pen assignment information can also be imported and saved in a plot style table using the Add Plot Style Table wizard.

To import plotting device and pen settings information, you can use the Import PCP or PC2 Plot Settings wizard to choose a PCP or PC2 file whose settings you want to import. You can also choose to modify any of the imported settings using the Page Setup dialog box.
