Custom Paper Sizes on R14

Custom Paper Sizes on R14

Custom Paper Sizes on R14

(OP)
In drafting on R13 we used "J US Standard" paper size for most all of our drawings. With "J US Standard" the user could change the dimension of the paper size to anything needed by entering a new height or width dimension. We are now on R14 and cannot figure out how to change paper size to a custom size. Do we need to predefine all our paper sizes?

Thanks in advance
forfun

RE: Custom Paper Sizes on R14

I need it too!!

i have  a hp 130nr printer, that is an A1+ printer/plotter, that if using a4/a3/a2 paper, has 5mm margins on three sides an 12mm on the 4th side, so I want to change the size of catia page so it prints it complete in the printer... the frame takes the full size of the page what means that doesn't get printed correctly but in v5r14 I cant!

tiasimo,

try double clicking on the sheet in the tree and then right click and go to properties. you can type in your own format if it is not in the pull down. you should be able to atler the width and height at this point.
