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...
 
Can anyone at all shead any light on this problem???

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.
