I am trying to set up titleblock templates in A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0.

 

I have my A1 template and to create an A0 I planned to open the A1 and Save as a new drawing. I then clicked the Layout tab and up comes Page Setup Manager, I click Modify and set the page size to A0. Now when I click Ok and Close, the paper space is freaked out, I cannot see my cursor when it goes over the paper space. Ive tried this a number of times, I also tried rebooting but its still doing it.

 

Any ideas?

 

Also, is that the correct way to create different size titleblocks? Simply change the page size in PSM and then Save As template?

Ok after trying to zoom extents countless times without any joy , it now decided to solved the problem.

 

So please answer only the second part of my question.

I would create each title page size as a layout tab in the one template each title block should be at 1:1 size and use mview to set the display scale window.

 

Its easy to copy a layout ie multiple sheets at a size and like wise to delete unused tabs.

 

Are you trying to just plot at different sheet sizes ? We draw always an A1 sheet but 90% plot at A3 ie 1/2 scale. You just need to take a little care that text is not less than 1.25mm when plotted for readability. A1 2.5mm A3 1.25. Also we use two pen tables the A3 thinner than the A1. You can save the sheet settings for reuse so we have two options designjet and laserjet.

Al thanks Ill give that a go.

 

We usually plot at A1 but sometimes require A0 and A3. I just want to be ready for whatever size Im asked for before its needed.
