If the edges of your drawing are not plotted, check the plotting margin limits of your output device in your printer or plotter documentation. Some printers and plotters can only plot within a certain margin around the edge of the paper. You should also make sure that you selected the proper Paper Size on the Drawing Configuration Menu.

In addition, you should check your printer/plotter setup in the Windows Control Panel. Click on your plotter in the list of installed printers that appears, then click on the Setup button to access the Printer/Plotter Setup dialog box for your plotter. Check the type of plotter that Windows is configured for - you can see this in the bar at the top of the Printer/Plotter Setup dialog box.

Hint:  If your plotter is capable of plotting to a larger paper size than what you are using, try setting the plotter (not the paper settings in "Sight" Survey!) to the next largest paper size.  This will fool the plotter into behaving as if it had a larger printable area to work with.
