paperspace/dwf's

I have a 17x11 sheet with a thick border line and tile block in paperspace that I use to

make dwf's using the publish command in AutoCad 2006. I'd like to make a copy of this

and make a 24x18 sheet or page w/ a similar border line and title block. Years ago I

learned how to do this, but age has  up with me, and I just can't remember how

it's done. Is there someone out there who can help me with this?

 

Thanks, Joe

To do it properly you need a 24x18 titleblock first, then you can use PAGESETUP to resize the curent paperspace if creating a new one is not an option.

Pendean, I've taken the enclosed attachment (24x18)to PAGESETUP and am lost
as to

How you resize it for "current paperspace" .If it's not too much trouble,
could you

Explain to me just how this is done.



Thanks again, Joe

PAGESETUP command while in your paperspace layout, select a larger page size if 24x18 is available with your plotter driver.

Pendean,

 

Using the Pagesetup command while in Paperspace was the answer

to the problem I was having. Thanks for your help with this.

Pendean,

 

How do I create a new sheet (30x24) in paperspace?

PAGESETUP command while in your paperspace layout, select a larger page size if 30x24 is available with your plotter driver.
If it's not available, you will need to create a custom sheet size: uit depends on your driver whether you can do that inside AutoCAD or not.

What are you plotting to?

That's not a printer or plotter: what are you plotting to?

Pen, I realize this is not a printer or a plotter. I'm using AutoDesk Review to

send out these dwf's to clients so they can print or plot as they choose. I'd

like a certain sheet size to fit the drawing at a specific scale and right now

I need a 30x24 for some drawings @ 1/4" scale. Can you help me with this?

DWF plotter driver finally 😉

May I ask why you don't want to send a "standard" sheet? Either way this following top for AutoCAD should apply to the free viewer (and as far as I know you can do it in AutoCAD 2006 too) http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/how-to-add-custom-paper-format-to-autocad-grayed-tip9348
