Plot Settings

[friedl]

hello

i want to retrieve the plot settings of a layout, but i can't seem to find the information necessary
can you help me with:

* determine the real world papersize (like A0) associated with a layout
* how can i determine the box to zoom to to plot only the paper defined and not the extents of the drawing?

any help is appreciated

Hello,

you can determine the paper size associated with a layout in Print Preview dialog box. Press [Ctrl+P] to call Print Preview dialog, then go to Device Settings tab and set a paper size.

To plot selected area of the drawing, use Clip Rectangle tool (available in CADViewX Pro).

hello,

no, i do not want to manually set it, i want to retrieve those values from the object model

when i go to the print settings dialog, i have to select the paper size on my own

what i want is to retrieve the paper size that the original creator of the autocad file intended for the drawing; i also want to retrieve the coordnates for the clipping of that papersize

so that i can export the autocad drawing with its size intended for the layout
(but without user interaction)

technically speaking, i want to access the Limits (min/max) of the Layout and the PLOTSETTINGS of the same Layout section, but i can't seem to find a way to access them

Hello.
CADViewX allows to receive extents for each layout. However PLOTSETTINGS data is inaccessible with current CADViewX version.
