I'd be happy to email you about this, if you want, Ralph, but even when I "despam" your email address it does not work. Matthias's driver can only process the printer output from the Autotrax print/plot program which is not really very intelligent in its placement. The placement and size will vary from circuit board to circuit board, or schematic. I would imagine that the best you could do is experiment until you find the settings that do what you want. You have settings for "Rotated" and "Normal" - I show those on the webpage, you might want to check they are set correctly. http://www.airborn.com.au/layout/printdrv.html Regards Steve
