Define Paper Sizes

Contents

You can define paper sizes associated with drawing types issued for specific disciplines. For example, architectural drawings can be various sizes: 9x12 inches, 12x18 inches, and so on. Once paper sizes are defined, you can assign them to individual drawings or for drawing sets when you send multiple copies for review or distribution.

To define a paper size:

1. Right-click on the top-level folder, and choose Dictionaries, Drawings, Paper Sizes. The Paper Sizes Dialog Box opens.
2. Click Add to open the Paper Sizes Detail Dialog Box.
3. In the Type field, enter a type of up to 16 characters.
4. In the Measurements field, enter measurements of up to 36 characters.
5. From the Move Below drop-down list, select the location below which you want to insert the code.
6. Click Save and Close to save the new paper size code.

   Note: Paper sizes defined here appear in all projects in the project database.
