Saphira_dragon Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How I can Auto detecting paper size (A4,A3..) of dwg without open AutoCAD ? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 There is no such think like paper size in dwg file. AutoCAD drawing is "divided" into Model Space, where you draw your plans, where you have notes, dimensions etc. (Oops! You can have dims in Paper Space too, can't you ReMark ), and Paper Space, where you can keep layouts with title sheets. In the same drawing you can have layouts with different settings including various paper sizes, scales etc. Please try to be more specified. What exactly do you want to do and what do you mean by auto detecting paper size? Detecting by what or by who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think Saphira wants to be able to somehow ascertain what paper size has been designated in a given drawing without actually opening the drawing up. I'm not sure if this is doable unless the drawing is opened myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste1978 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I don't know anyway of knowing this without opening up the file. Why do you want to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 One could also add that some drawings have no paper space set up. Perhaps the OP is hoping that AutoCAD behaves like PDF files which do have a paper size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 In Sheet Set Manager you can see sheet (paper) size without opening the drawing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Can I just say, Saphira_dragon and the Blackfish in the same thread? You have my fantasy-streams crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
