PCF and Plotting an E-Size

I'm trying to figure out how to set up the our PCF file to automatically rotate an E-size drawing. If you do not tell it to rotate it 90 the drawing gets cut off when you use our current PCF. We currently have to go into and tell it to rotate 90 everytime we go to print an E-Size.


I wouldlike stream line this process a bit. Is there a way to set this within the PCF file?
 
In WF2 you want:
rotate_plotting yes

In older releases (don't know when it changed) it was:
landscape_postscript_print yes
 
Yes I tested that one out.


It does rotate it. But then it rotates all the other sizes. Right now I made a seperate one for E-sizes.


I should probably rephrase the question. If we use the MS default setting the drawings rotate for a best fit (less paper waste)for the plotting paper. But if I use our PCF (Postscript) one everything but the E-size come out correctly. Is there anyway within the PCFI can give it the intelligence to not to come out all one way.


Then again our plotter has 2 different width sizes (1 for B/C and 1 for D/E) Not sure if this makes a difference.


thanks.
