A3 Template help

[Anonymous]

Hi I want to do what should be quite a simple thing. I want to set up a new A3 template, with a border and title block. Then I want to print a drawing onto that A3 sheet to a scale suitable to fit nicely on the page. Try as I might, I cannot find any tutorials to tell me how to do this. Can anybody help?

Hi James,

There are many ways to do this, but let me offer one suggested workflow here.

-Use the PAGESETUP command to create a Page Setup with the size, scale, and plot settings you need (see attached image).

-Insert your title block and border of the appropriate size to fit your Page Setup.

-Place and set the scale for your viewport(s).

-Save this file as a template.
