Current Layout to specified page setup current

[Philj215]

We setup multiple page setups on all of our drawings that are the same. One of them is called PDF. I want to set the current layout to "PDF" page setup. Is there a lisp routine that will achieve this to save me some time?

I normally do this process:

type: pagesetup

click PDF from the page setups

click the set current button

I would say: Command -PLOT no

and stop the plot at the end of this command.

CTab is good for a layout jump, not to set a pagesetup.

@Philj215 

Sure you will find a short tool to set your named pagesetup,

but -PLOT is the way to go if you like to create your own solution.

try using this lisp function to do this but Note: Does not check if given pagesetup name exists or applies to given layout space

You will see when you run the program. If you don't run you won't see anything.
Watch at least the video tutorial.
It automatically assigns all required print options to all layouts.

I watched the video.  Like I said, your app has nothing to do with OP. Go back and read it carefully.
