How to covert A3 Page to teo A4 pages Layout

[Anonymous]

Hi,

We used to convert A3 size page to 2 A4 pages in the PlotMaker (ArchiCAD 9) using master layout settings as shown in fallowing fig 1.

But there is no such option in ArchiCAD13 master layout as shown in fig2.

Is there any way can I achieve this functionality (as our sales people have only A4 printers such that they can print 2 A4 pages (instead of A3 page) and attach them together to show customer)?

It is my understanding that the way this worked changed with AC 10 and the advent of Publisher. In any case you can set up a Publisher set to do just what you are asking for. See the AC Reference guide (page 443 in the AC 12 version) for more information.

I think the easiest way would be to create two A4 layout pages.
Place half of the drawing on one layout and the other half on the other.
Then just publish as normal.

Ranga, if you don't have a boat-load of layouts, you can set your master layout to A3 for your own use and then Print each layout to multiple sheets. Choose A4 as your output size, change the orientation and you should be good to go.
