Quick Reference

You can select a paper size from a standard list, or you can add custom paper sizes using the Plotter Configuration Editor.

You can select a paper size from a standard list. The paper sizes available in the list are determined by the plot device that is currently selected for the layout. If your plotter is configured for raster output, you must specify the output size in pixels. You can add custom paper sizes, which are stored in the plotter configuration (PC3) file, using the Plotter Configuration Editor.

If you are using a system printer, the paper size is determined by the document defaults that are set in the Windows Control Panel. The default paper size is displayed in the Page Setup dialog box when you create a new layout for that configured device. If you change the paper size in the Page Setup dialog box, the new paper size is saved with the layout and overrides the size saved in the plotter configuration (PC3) file.
