Are 'Output settings' no longer changeable in web app?

[Anonymous]

I know I'm replying to something that's 6 years old.. but is the "output setting" no longer changeable?  

I am experiencing the same issues as the original post - PDF is not centered and is not to scale.

engineary,

Currently, you are not able to select a plot style or deeply configure the PDF output. 
Output from a layout will match the settings in the drawing
Output from Modelspace has some minor configurations. 
Take a look at this help page: https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACADWEB/ENU/?guid=AutoCAD_Web_Help_Plottopdf_html

I hope this helps,

Hello @Anonymous 

could the information provided by @acadhelp1  help you and answer your question?

Otherwise I recommend to plot via layout. I just ran a test on my side - the result is as expected when you plot a layout.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the info!  I have tried plotting via Layout, but I am unable to modify the Paper Size.  Could this be a browser issue?  I have tried in both Chrome and Microsoft Edge, but some options are just not click-able.  

Where would I get to the Layout Properties?  I feel like I've right-clicked everywhere possible.

Hello @Anonymous 

the command PAGESETUP is not available in the AutoCAD Web App.

When you create a new drawing in the AutoCAD Web App, the Layout1 and Layout2 are created as a 

• ISO A4 (210.00 x 297.00 MM) Landscape

Since changing the Page Setup is a limitation in the Web Application, I would recommend the following steps in combination with AutoCAD Desktop (if possible for you):

Saved at Web & Mobile

1. Open AutoCAD Desktop

2. Open the drawing from within your AutoCAD Dekstop Application with OPENFROMWEBMOBILE

3. Change the Page Setup via the command PAGESETUP 

4. Use the command SAVETOWEBMOBILE to save your drawing again

5. Open the drawing in the Web Application and plot again with the new page setup.

Saved on an external storage provider

1. Open AutoCAD Desktop

2. Open the drawing from your external storage provider

3. Change the Page Setup via the command PAGESETUP 

4. Save your drawing 

5. Open the drawing in the Web Application and plot again with the new page setup

Thanks Tom!

Unfortunately, I created this drawing wholly within the web interface, and therefore could not edit the paper size for layout.  However, your answer appears to be the correct solution, so I am marking it as such.  Thanks!
