Hi,

No & Yes!

1. No, pagesetups are individually

For new layouts or whole files, use your own template.

2. But you don't need this pagesetup property, take a look closer to

Command: Transparencyoverride<enter>[F1]

Hi @cadffm

Thanks for your reply.

Would this command affect all the sheets? Because i don't worry about the transparency on the model itself, I just need the transparency to be applied when printing.

Another question, is it possible to export a page setup that you create here (img)? So i don't need to do it every time and I would just need to import it.

Thanks! 😊

PLOT settings in AutoCAD are by tab by DWG file @alessandrojb Always has been, still is, one setting in one pop-up never translates to all future PLOT command pop-ups.

So.. you'll need to automate with:

1) create named pagesetups in a template file then import when you need that using PSETUPIN command.

2) OR with LISP either as a startup

3) OR as a 'reactor"/trigger for when you start PLOT command.

How would you like to proceed? HELP explains the first option, and lots of tutorials exist on the web too.
