Page sequence

In Plotmaker 9 we had this wonderful print options screen where we could see and set the page sequence print order (see screenshot). How do I do the same in AC10?

You can't, AFAIK.

Re-arrange your pages in the layout book (9) or re-arrange your layouts.

You are not supposed to have more than one sheet per layout now; you could not have subsequent sheets pre-8, so divinding one layout to sheets and printing them in order was the name of the game. Now there is no need for that - arrange your layouts and that's it.

Or did I miss the point?

Kind of.

I used to use the Page Sequence when I only wanted to print a portion of an A1 sheet on say A3 at full size. I could pick the page I wanted, or change the order etc.

I was trying to do this with 10, but just realised that it supports the option of printing the marquee area, whereas Plotmaker didn't. Old dog, new tricks

Wouldn't it be useful if the marqee had a settings dialog box that would allow it to be used as a print setup. Example, select it, specify the scale, the print area - 8.5" x11" - etc. Then you could move it to a specific area on the layout or drawing.

Vectorworks has a feature like that and it is useful for quick accurate prints and PDF's.
