PAGESETUP — Page Setup
Manages the page setups of the drawing.
- Command:
PAGESETUP· Global name:_PAGESETUP - Ribbon: Output › Plot
- Menu: File
Manages the page setups of the drawing: the one of each layout (and of model space) and the named page setups, which can be applied to several layouts or brought in from other drawings. They are saved in the drawing, as in AutoCAD, and are the ones PLOT uses.
Usage
- Enter PAGESETUP or click its button. The Page Setup Manager opens, showing Current layout: …
- In Page setups: choose the one of the current layout (between asterisks) or a named one.
- Use the buttons:
- Set Current: Applies the selected page setup to the current layout.
- New…: creates a named page setup. It asks for the New page setup name: and what to Start with: (the layout's own or an existing one).
- Modify…: opens the edit dialog box, with the same controls as the Plot dialog box (plotter, paper, area, offset, scale, plot style table, options and orientation).
- Import…: Copies the named page setups of another drawing (DWG or DXF).
- At the bottom, Selected page setup details sums up the device, paper, plot size, scale and plot style table.
Notes
- Two page setups cannot have the same name.
- The controls are explained in PLOT, including Properties… (custom paper sizes and printable area of the plotter, for this page setup only or saved to the plotter file).
