rkmcswain Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Run the PAGESETUP command. Either modify the current pagesetup or edit/create a new pagesetup and apply. Quote

rkmcswain Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 i want to make the LAYOUT portrait Which is what I explained how to do. Did you try it? ,not to plot the layout that is landspace in portrait. The layout will plot however it's setup. Set it as portrait and it will plot that way. Quote

Voila. Quote
tzframpton Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Wizards are a crutch. Get used to PAGESETUP and you'll get familiar with all the options needed for plotting and setup. Quote

Get used to PAGESETUP and you'll get familiar with all the options needed for plotting and setup. ok i know the page setup but in the drawing i have only 3 areas that i`m interested in.so for me to use the orientation of the layout in portrait is the best solution.i made 3 view ports and below them i can put a legend in another viewport,details...etc .since the dwg is in design as a portrait. thx for the reply rkmcswain and sorry that i didn`t put the correct question and also thx StykFacE for the advice.

Tankman Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Open your portrait *.dwt file, minimize. Copy 'n paste from your landscape *.dwg, section by section. I do this on occasion, plan view 'n elevation view, chemical storage tanks. Quote
