Macro for page setup manager

[_Vijay]

 Any have an idea for page set manager macro? 

I want a setup like the one below image,

Did you google ?

We went a different way using lisp so would pick desired output and the lisp handled all the plot settings. As a side note did not use sheetsets or publish.

Also look at "Maratovich plotting"

You want something "like" the standard Page Setup dialog box, but not the standard Page Setup dialog box?  What is the advantage?  Why not use the standard dialog box?  Dialog boxes are not what macros do, but there may be a way to have a macro call up the dialog box, if that's what you're looking for.

I use Lee Mac's Steal from Drawing to import Page Setups from a template file from a drop-down.

^C^C^P(or C:Steal (load "StealV1-8.lsp"))(Steal (strcat (vl-filename-directory (getenv "QnewTemplate")) (chr 92) "AutoCAD Template" (chr 92) "Templates.dwt") (list (list "Page Setups" (list "11×17" "11×17 PDF")))) .regen

One for plotting and one to PDF for each layout size. 

Not often needed as when I use the same lisp to import layouts I bring the Page Setups in at the same time.

^C^C^P(Steal (strcat (vl-filename-directory (getenv "QnewTemplate")) (chr 92) "AutoCAD Template" (chr 92) "Templates.dwt") (list (list "Page Setups" (list "11×17" "11×17 PDF"))(list "Layouts" (list "11×17")))) .regen

@Kent1Cooper I am looking for something like this.

AUTOCAD TRICK for PRINT SETUP - YouTube

If you use different title blocks for your layouts and choose a printer then its easy using lisp to plot each time. So dont worry about print setup. You must have a single block in the layout that can be used for the plot area, landscape or portrait is known due to name of title block. We had a menu and the title block for a new layout was chosen. 

We had plot to correct printer nearest to user for a multi storey office they just selected a printer type A3 or A1. 

There is so many plot lisps out there. Happy to provide more info about a possible solution.

You need to try first, and then write.
This is the solution for you.
