Page Setup Macro

[m_rogoff]

Hi, my end goal is to create a macro that will change the plotter (or .PC3) used in the current layout. I do not want to have to create a new layout tab, just change the existing one.

I've used -Psetupin but it just imports a Page Setup and doesn't set it current.

If I can somehow just Rename the Page Setup, there is an option in -Psetupin to redefine the Page Setup. Or how do I redefine what PC3 file it uses?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried this using the -plot command? the - in front of the command keeps it in your command bar.
If have a Y behind the command it will give you detailed plot config so you can set all variables.
Last question "proceed with plot" would be a N assuming you don't want to print it. And the one before that "save changes to page setup" would be a Y so it saves your setting.

Your macro would start with this: ^C^C-plot;
