Update layouts to new plotter

[asloat]

Ran into a new problem and can't seem ot find a current solution to it, perhaps there is a simple one.

We replaced a plotter that is used as the default plotter by 90% of our CAD files. When we go to plot it obviously can't find the plotter anymore and defaults to no printer. We then need to select the new plotter and reselect the paper size.

Not a huge issue by itself, but when you have a drawing with say 25 layout tabs it gets cumbersome.

Does anyone know a way around this to assign this new plotter and correct page size to all layout tabs in a drawing? If not is there a way to at least have it maintain the paper size when selecting the new plotter and not have it auto select a different page size?

Thank you

Cadalyst had this write up which might help.

Also...

And there is a lisp routine that will apply the current page setup to all layout tabs. You can find the lisp below.

I assume you are using a Windows printer.  Did you set it up in Windows and make it the default printer.

This office has 3 plotters and probably 5 or so small format printers, I believe IT uses adobe PDF as the "default" windows printer over any one of the actual physical printers.
