- This document contains updated technical information
- for input and output devices (plotters, tablets, etc...)
- compatible with CADKEY.
-
- This documentation may be reproduced for single user installation.
- It may not be reproduced for any other purpose, unless it complies

-
- Clip Limits for Plotting explained for CADKEY on-line
- plotting and PLOTFAST.
-
-
- Description:
- Clip Limits allow the user to define the border where the
- plotter cannot access. Essentially they are allowing the
- user to indicate the border that the plotter cannot access.
- Most, if not all, plotters will have clip limits and they
- should be set as indicated in the plotter's setup manual.
- Some manuals may refer to them as "soft clip limits" or
- "hard clip limits". The ideal scenario would be to set
- the soft clip limits to the hard clip limits.
