Paper Size with variable length

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to plot in pdf many dwg file.

The files have a fixed height but variable in length.

The length of the file I'll take the "scroll".

So i want to create a paper size with a specific dimension.

psv.SetPlotConfigurationName(ps, "DWG To PDF.pc3", "Name of the paper");

How can I do?

Enter device number: 8

Enter Media Height(mm):

Requires numeric value.

Enter Media Height(mm): 287

Enter Media Width(mm): 210

- Closest Media: ISO full bleed A4 (210.00 x 297.00 MM)

yes it work, i'm sorry  ... i had a problem with autocad 2010 and the netload.

If i understand the solution of this code is to take the input from the user (o from a code) and searching in the paper size the best choice ... but from existing paper size, not by a created one.

It's correct?

In my case this solution can be very complex because i have three height (30, 60 and 90 centimeter) and a width that start from 1 meter to 5 meter according to the design.
There isn't  another choice?

Thank you very much for the help
