You can apply a named page setup to model space or to a layout using the
Page Setup Manager. Other options available in the Page Setup Manager include
Apply a named page setup saved with one layout to another layout in the
same drawing
Modify the settings of a page setup at any time
Import a named page setup from another drawing, and apply it to layouts
in the current drawing
You can also apply different named page setups to the same layout to achieve
specific results when plotting. For example, you might create the named page
setups in the following table to control scaling and paper size.
DescriptionPage setup name
Plot at scale 1:1, E-size sheetNoScaling
Plot at scale 1:2, C-size sheetScale 1 to 2
Plot to the draft-quality plotterDraft
Plot to the high-quality plotterFinal

Once you specify a named page setup for a layout, whenever you plot the
layout, it is plotted with the settings you specified.
Specify Page Setup Settings
Page setups are associated with model space and with layouts, and are saved
in the drawing file. The settings specified in a page setup determine the
appearance and format of your final output.
Select a Printer or Plotter for a Layout
To print a layout, select a printing or plotting device in the Page Setup dialog
box. You can also view details about the name and location of the device, and
change the device's configuration.
