Color Mapping
Creating objects of different colors in AutoCAD allows the user to take advantage
of the Vector Color Mapping capabilities of the Epilog Dashboard print driver.
Color mapping assigns different Speed and Power settings to an object based on
its color allowing you to both cut and mark in a single setup. For a detailed
description of how Color Mapping works, refer to the
Using The Epilog Legend

section of this manual.
Model Space, Paper Space, and Precise Location
AutoCAD was designed to print to paper plotters and some of the assumptions
(especially Scaling and Margins) that AutoCAD makes when printing can cause
frustration for laser users that are used to being able to send a job to the laser and
have its precise location be very predictable. Printing from either Paper Space or
Model Space will work. Be aware that the scaling and margin assumptions made
by AutoCAD can affect both the size and location of the work.
Helpful Hints
When printing from AutoCAD you will need to
set up your AutoCAD page so
that it is square
. This prevents the objects from rotating 90 degrees when you
print them. The page in the example below is set to 24 x 24 inches.
Place all of your objects in the upper portion of the AutoCAD page (see
illustration below). If you are printing to a bed size of 24 x 12 inches (610 x 305
mm) and you have a 24 x 24 inch page, the objects in the lower 12 inches will not
be processed.
