How to change the electronics schematic sheet size?

Hi,

 

I've created an electronics document, and by default it was set to a B schematic size.  I have changed the preferences to create A schematic sizes, but the existing design is still set to a B-size.  When I print, the schematic frame size is an A-size, but it splits it across two pages as it believes the actual schematic size is B.

 

Is there a way to change the current schematic size of an existing fusion 360 electronics design?  I would like to change it from its existing B-size to an A-size.

 

Any help appreciated,

Jim Kardach

 

thanks,

Jim Kardach

Hello @jkardach3R2M3 ,

 

you can change this also in the print-dialog:

Sorry, it is the german version. Should be "scale factor" and "page limit" in english.

Same question: 

How to change the electronics schematic sheet size (not print scaling)?

I think you mean the frame?

The frame is a component. Search in the library manager for frame_a or when your want to use metric size Dina and place it in your design.

Old frame can be deleted by selecting it left bottom and press delete.

Schematic sheet is "infinite". You can place frames

 

Here's mine example.

Cross(bottom left) is sheet and frame origin. This is print setup:

Thank you Evert-TO3 and Silvio3105 for deciphering this information, I am just starting to learn Fusion360. I haven't used AutoCAD (with an add on module) for schematics and PC Boards since before OrCad was originally released.
I would expect an infinite "screen" size and a specific paper size that anyone would use (and understand), with or without a frame. It is probably difficult to buy an "infinite" sheet of paper or frame_b paper / printer at the store is all I am getting at.
