Custom paper size

[G.G.]

Hello people, is it possible to create custom paper size with autolisp, i found a lot of information how to select printer, paper, but i do not see anything for creating custom paper size.

Are you using publish or just plain PLOT ?

 

For single dwg I have used for years a lisp, actually more like 4, A1, PDF, A3 - BW, A3 Colour. Works every single time multiple layout support.

You have to do that in the printer settings.

 

•     View your system’s printers (there are several ways to get there)
          Control Panel > Devices and Printers (Easiest)
          OR
          Settings > Printers & Scanners

•     Select any Printer

•     Select Print Server Properties  on the toolbar above the printers or from Related Settings at the right hand side

•     Select the Forms tab

•     Click “Create a New Form” checkbox

•     Enter the custom width and height

•     Click OK

The whole idea i want to create lisp that create layout with custom sizes and i can do most of the things but for creating custom paper size dont have much info.

Did you ask this elsewhere given the plot sizes were for a roll plotter ? Some suggestions were made at other post.

Ok sounds like same question but new poster, are you using a roll plotter ? So want long plots but without the "White" space problems. I suggested make multiple sizes in say 200mm increments then you have what you want only need to do once.
