Explanation:
As I understood, Plotear comes from printing a big image on the plotter to hang on the walls.

imprimir por un plotter, ploter


Explanation:
Dice alli; El Ploteo es un termino que se da a la impresión de planos. Este término adoptado por arquitectos y diseñadores de interiores se le da por que la maquina que imprime los planos se le conoce como Plotter de Impresión.

Los Plotters pueden ser de impresión, como los que se usan para imprimir planos o mapas o de corte como los que se usan para cortar stickers de vinilos.

Example sentence(s):
  • Interesting themes or proverbs you can ****print on your plotter.

agree  philgoddard: "Up" is not necessary. Based on Google Images, these are peel-and-stick decals.

agree  neilmac: From the context, this appears to be the meaning. Nothing to do with plots or plotting.
