You can import named page setups from any other drawing

00:08

to do this. Open the page set up manager, dialogue and click import

00:13

to open a file dialogue,

00:17

navigate to the folder where you save the exercise files, select print

00:25

and click open

00:27

in the import page setups, dialogue

00:30

in the page setups group box,

00:33

you see the named page setups that were saved as part of that drawing file.

00:38

In this case, there is only one page setup, select it and then click, OK.

00:45

Since you are about to import a page set up with the same name as the page setup,

00:50

you just created,

00:51

you see an alert asking if you want to redefine

00:55

the A size PDF page setup that already exists.

00:59

In this case, since they both use the same settings,

01:03

you can click. Yes.

01:05

But if this was not what you had intended,

01:08

you could click no or cancel the entire process at this point.

01:13

Since that same a size PDF page setup was referenced by multiple layouts.

01:19

The program asks if you want to update

01:21

all of the layouts that reference that page setup

01:25

again. For this exercise, you can click Yes.

01:29

But if you did not want the imported page set up to be applied to the other layouts,

01:33

you could click.

01:34

No,

01:36

when you are done,

01:37

close the page set up manager.
