Page setup on one layout changes page setup on different layout

I have a drawing template with several layouts of different sheet sizes.  I have two layouts with letter size sheets - one in portrait orientation and one in landscape.  When I set the printer parameters for one of them, the printer/page setup of the layout for the other changes to a 5-1/4" x 3-1/2" sheet, or changes the output device to another printer, or both.  I have tried various workarounds but I cannot seem to get these layouts to play nicely together.

 

Any ideas?

Did you create brand new tabs for each of these layouts? Sometimes when you start with a new tab and set from the beginning, it seems to work. I've attached a new drawing I created with 2 tabs set up to letter size as you have stated in your question and even after closing and reopening it, it retained the size/printer settings that I set it at and hopefully, this is what you're trying to do and helps. If this is not exactly what you're trying to accomplish, maybe if you attach an image of the issue, that may help explain the issue better.

Hi @weusethisforjunk,

 

Can you share a sample file with your page setups? I would like to see what might be causing this problem for you.

 

Which version of AutoCAD are you using?

 

Do your page setups have unique names and are you applying them to each layout?

Are you using saved page setups for the different sheet sizes/orientations??
