When I am in Sheet Set Manager and right click on "Sheets" title. Click on Publish then click on Publish with Page Setup Override none of my Page Setups are shown. When I try to Import from my template none of the Page Setups are shown there either. How do I get my template Page Setups to show on the Publish with Page Setup Override option? Under Properties my Page Setup Override file is the template file I want to use. Any suggestions?

I think the place to start is by opening your template file that should have the pagesetups and verify that they are truly in that file.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

If something I wrote can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.
Yes, I checked the template file and the Page Setups are there and yes, the path for the overrides is correct.

Were the page setups in your template file created on the Model tab of that file, or on layout tabs? Since sheets are effectively layouts, page setups created on the Model tab won't show up when you go to plot/publish layouts (and vice versa).

Make sure the plot area is set to "Layout" in your setups. Window or extents won't work.
Not true here, our Page Setups are all set to "Extents" and they plot just fine using "Publish using Page Setup Override" in SSM.
Windows works fine for full size sheets when I Publish to Plotter. We tried Layout but when we want to print 11x17 or 8.5x11 sheets it will not scale to fit. It is grayed out. This is what we are trying to do. Plot half scale sets or smaller.

Please post a screen capture of what specifically is grayed out.
You don't have a "Page Setup" selected in the plot dialog so it doesn't understand the "Layout" option.
Select a "Page Setup" and then the "Layout" option allows for the fit to paper option.
I'm a little confused where your going with this thread as your original post pertained to Page Setup overrides option in SSM and now you posted a _Plot dialog that has the "Fit to Paper" option grayed out with no Page Setup Selected?
Every listed Page Setup in that drawing is set to plot "Window" from what I can tell here. As mentioned window option isn't going to work.

I was "asked" to post a screen shot of the grayed out Fit to Paper as noted above. I just want to use the Page Setup Override in SSM.
When I select "Layout" my Page Setup turns to <none>. Check out the attached file I sent to David.

I know. I tried Layout but it will not plot to fit the size we want. Like I said before we are trying to plot a half scale set or smaller. Everytime I select Layout the Scale to Paper is grated out and the acale goes to 1 to1 and the Page Setup turn to <none>. With full size sheets I use Windows and it works fine when Publish to Plotter. My guess is I cannot use SSM to do what I want to do. Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it.
