Well, you discovered one of the HP curses that the ACAD programers wrote in. When you plot directly, ACAD queries the plotter as to the origin. When plotting to a file, HPGL calculates the vectors from the center of the sheet. The best way to keep from going insane is the use the same sheet size in the ACAD menu as what you really have loaded in the plotter. <<John, BOLDER Designs>> PS. HPGL/2 uses the lower left corner as the orgin just like everyone else.
