Dana W Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Click the Properties button next to your Printer/Plotter name on your layout manager Modify dialog. You can make your layout any size you like in User Defined Paper Sizes & Calibration. The caveat is that your plotter driver and the final media have to be able to handle it.

eldon Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 A small bit of information is that an A1 is (841 x 594mm) and an A0 is (1189 x 841mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customer paper size is not active. I can only click modify standard paper size. that can reduce or increase the margin, but cannot change the standard paper size.

Then you're probably not using a "plotter" that can handle custom paper sizes, kinda like mine that only does 8 1/2 x 11. Of course you could always use the Dwg to PDF.pc3. Then you can make the paper any size you want, and pay a couple dollars to get it printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
