e.g. center

The only values which can be used are X and Y coordinates or center

 

Rotation:

e.g. 0

Indicates the drawing orientation in degrees, based on Portrait or Landscape. Also determines whether the drawing is plotted upside-down. The only values that can be used are '0', '90', '180' and '270'.

e.g. 1_to_1

Refers to the name of the plot style table you want to use.  Dependant on the drawing type, there must be a CTB or STB file available at plot time.

 

Note:
