GDL - Layout Page Size

Lingwisyer
Guru

Hi all,

 

Is there some way to tell what the page size of a layout is? Or maybe read the Master Layout Name?

There is autotext for the <LAYOUTNAME>, which you can use in GDL, but you can't see or do anything with the actual value (i.e. can't split the text to get the page size).

 

I see nothing at all for layout or master page size.

Yeah, I searched through the manual for something useable to no avail...

Can you use <MASTERLAYOUTHEIGHT>, <MASTERLAYOUTWIDTH> and <MASTERLAYOUTNAME> autotexts? Explained here: https://help.graphisoft.com/AC/27/INT/_AC27_Help/070_Documentation/070_Documentation-69.htm

Autotexts cannot be used for anything except direct text output.

Only drawing title objects can access layout dimensions
