Solidworks Print Setup For Sheet Size
Solidworks Print Setup For Sheet Size
(OP)
I have searched the FAQ's with no luck, and the Forums found a hit but for SW 2003. We are using SW 2005, although we had this problem with SW 2004 before.
I have successfully updated the templates we use for SW, but there is one characteristic I cannot seem to get established in our template.
We print out SW drawings exclusively on 11" x 17" paper, but the print setup always defaults to 8 1/2" x 11", and I have not discovered how to save the template with this paper size setting.
Since this problem was existing in SW 2003 (in the forum I found on this site), I was hoping that it would be fixed in SW 2005.
Maybe it is fixed and I don't know how to use the fix. Anyway, I would appreciate any advice on how to save my template with 11" x 17" as the paper size.
Best regards,
debodine

Thanks for the info!

You have Page setups in SW, but again must of that is simply pulled from Windows. You can setup document properties per file and not template, I believe.

So I will continue to set the proper page setup at the beginning of each drawing.
Thanks to all for the inputs.

Try this: Open your template. Click Ctrl P, in the dialog box click Page Setup… Now set your wanted settings. Complete the print by sending to printer. Now save your template. Create a new drawing with this new template. Ctrl P and print. Did this hold the settings?
