hello together,

the topic „custom paper size“ has already mentioned in several threats,

but unfortunetely there are no answers which give me help.

is it possible to add a „custom papersize“?

Would this be a solution maybe?

- to edit the pc3 file – are there any interfaces or is a word proseccing of the file possible?

- or does the „AcPlPlotInfoValidator“ can be used where is also a function „isCustomPossible“

  or "AcPlPlotConfig::makeCustomMediaFromSizeDesc"?

- there is also an assistend  where you can add a plotter (Pc3 file)

   which is in the same folder like the pc3 files – does this maybe work out?

i am looking forward to get an official response to this problem and also every suggestion which can be helpful.

Thank you all...

Hi,

Sorry, there is no API to create a custom paper size.

Also the PC3 file is a compressed file similar to a .CUIX and cannot be parsed as an XML.

A way to use custom paper size is to use the "Plotter Configuration Editor" (launched by double clicking a pc3 file) to create a new pc3 file with the custom paper sizes.

This pc3 can then be deployed in the plotter folder.
