To import named page setups from another drawing
1 Click Output tab ➤ Plot panel ➤ Page Setup Manager.
2 In the Page Setup Manager, click Import.
3 In the Select Page Setup From File dialog box, select a drawing file from
which you want to import one or more named page setups. Click Import.
4 In the Import Page Setups dialog box, select one or more page setups to
import. Click OK.
If a page setup with the same name already exists in the drawing, you
can redefine the settings of the existing one with the settings of the
imported page setup, or you can cancel the operation.
The imported page setups are displayed in the Page Setup Manager in the
list of page setups.
NOTE You can import both model space and layout page setups at the same
time. However, an imported model space page setup is shown in the Page
Setup Manager only if the model tab was current when you opened the Page
Setup Manager. Similarly, an imported layout page setup is shown in the
Page Setup Manager only if a layout tab was current when you opened the
Page Setup Manager.
5 In the Page Setup Manager, click Close.
To delete a named page setup
1 Click Output tab ➤ Plot panel ➤ Page Setup Manager.
2 In the Page Setup Manager, under Page Setups, right-click the named
page setup you want to delete. Click Delete.
NOTE A page setup that is not named is shown in the Page Setup Manager
with an asterisk on either side of its layout name. An unnamed page setup
does not have the same functionality as a named page setup. For example,
if you set an unnamed page setup as the current page setup for another
layout, the values are applied to the layout. If you make changes to the original
unnamed page setup, those changes do not carry over to the layout to which
the unnamed page setup was applied.
