Reuse Named Page Setups
You can save plot device and other page setup settings as named page setups
that can be modified and imported into other drawings.
Named page setups are saved in the current drawing file and can be imported
into other drawing files and applied to other layouts.
If you want to plot the same layout more than one way, or if you want to
specify the same output options for several layouts, use named page setups.
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
Fit to Paper, A-size sheetFit-to-Paper
Once you specify a named page setup for a layout, whenever you plot the
layout, it is plotted with the settings you specified.
