Paper Space or "Sheet Mode"!!!

Paper Space or "Sheet Mode"!!!

Paper Space or "Sheet Mode"!!!

(OP)
Hello,

Can someone please tell me how to change the sheet size in paper space? I belive DraftSight call it Sheet Mode?

It is a basic function in AutoCAD, right click on the sheet tab, and hey presto change the sheet size A1 A2 A3 etc etc.

The "Sheet Mode" seems to have a default size of some tiny imperial no good for nothing sheet that I can't seem to change.

How can I create an A1 sheet (Without having to import an existing AutoCAD template)

Cheers,
Gaz...

I have now found a free AutoCAD clone which works exactly how it should. All the options I am after are all present and correct.

While DraftSight I think has the edge on the UI, that's where it ends.

1. Go to desired sheet
2. Rightclick on Sheet-Tab
3. Click on Print Configuratin Manager...
4. Select (or create first one) desired print configuration
5. Click Activate !!!

The page size actually sets up when creating/modifing Print Configuration file.

Thats it.
