Back in the page setup manager,
00:06
you can see that the A size PDF page setup you just created now appears in the list,
00:12
select it
00:14
and then click set current to make it the
00:16
current page set up for the furniture plan layout.
00:20
As soon as you do, the layout changes slightly.
00:24
And in the page setups group box,
00:26
you can see that the current page setup is set to the A size PDF page setup.
00:32
Click close to close the page set up manager.
00:36
You can see that since the plot style table is part of the A size PDF page setup,
00:42
that plot style table has also been applied to this layout.
00:46
So everything now appears in black and white,
00:48
which is also how this layout will print.
00:52
Now that you have saved a named page setup.
00:55
You can apply that page set up to the details layout.
00:59
Switch to the details layout.
01:02
You can see that this is also an A size sheet.
01:06
It uses the same T block and already includes a door jam detail
01:10
in a viewport set to a scale of three inches equals 1 ft
01:15
at present. The title block border is very close to the left margin of the paper.
01:22
Right, click the details layout tab and select page setup manager
01:27
to open the page setup manager dialogue.
01:30
You can see that the named page setup you created appears in the page setups, list,
01:36
select a size PDF and then click set current
01:40
to apply that same page set up to the details layout.
01:45
When you do the layout changes slightly,
01:48
you can see that the border is now positioned further away from the left margin.
01:52
And in the page setups group box,
01:54
you can see that a size PDF is now the current page setup.
01:60
When you close the page set up manager dialogue,
02:03
the details layout also now appears in black and white
02:07
because the monochrome plot style table has also been applied to this layout.
02:13
Since named page setups are saved as part of a drawing.
02:16
If you create named page setups,
02:19
you should save them as part of the template file.
02:22
That way when you start a new drawing, the named page setup will already exist.
