Problem: adjusting the custom Master Layout Size (Plotmaker)

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi there,

I'm trying to adjust the Master Layout Size in Plotmaker (3.1 int) to a custom size but it doesn't work. I can't fill in any value, instead I always get 100 cm. Same thing happens when I want to change the layout-size for plotting to a custom lay-out size. The only thing I get is 100cm. The standard formats (A0, A1,...) work but I need a custom size.

If anyone could help me out?

thanks

This image will be more easy to solve my problem. As you can see on the image the value marks 100,000 when I want to fill in a custom size. Even if I type 500 or 800, the only thing I get is 100.
It even replaces my usable prinnt area with 98,000.

Hopely someone can help me,

thanks

Are you trying to change the "Layout" size or the "Output paper" size?

I think you will have to go to your "Current Plotter" output settings for any custom sizes. Then click the "Apply" button to set the values in the dialog box.
