Change Page Size of Sheet in Project Manager

In keeping with this week's theme of disappointment with the Project Manager, here's another question:

 

Is it possible to change the page size of a preexisting sheet, i.e., switching from a 24"x36" page to a 30"x42" page?

 

Thanks, as always.

Hi Bret,

 

Yes, it is possible.

You need to edit the default Project template;

- create new layout in it

- assign paper size you need to this layout,

- save the template

 

Now you can to select between two layouts, when you add new layout to the Project:

Thanks Maxim.

 

But can I switch back and forth between several layouts after adding the sheet?

In terms of the Project Manager Layout = Sheet.

What do you mean by "switch back and forth between several layouts"?

You can add Layouts (Sheets) with different paper sizes to the Project, so if you use the default template with several Layouts in it, you can add Layouts (Sheets) with different paper sizes from this template choosing what you need from the dropdown I mentioned in my post.

I mean, if I create a set comprised of 24x36 sheets but then later learn
that I need the sheets to be 30x42, can I simply change them all using a
droop-down menu, or do I need to create a new sheet with the proper
dimensions for each sheet in my set?

Drop down list is only for creating new Layouts, you cannot change paper size with it in existing Layouts in the Project.
