CHANGING LAYOUT SHEET SIZE AFTERWARDS

[mtldesigns]

I need to change an existing drawing (layout) from an arch D to an arch E size (builder request).  Is there anyway to do this without starting over?  The existing template is arch D, and I do have an Arch E. I was hoping for an easy swap out, but I am stumped.

 

Thank you in advance.

Yes no problem.  Just change your paper size on the D layout and copy over page 0 and whatever else you might need from your E layout then just rescale and adjust as required for the larger paper.

so basically on page 0, redo the temp-plate to an Arch E size, adjust paper size, etc..... ?  not bring in a Arch E existing layout?  Genius!

 

Thanks Chop...  I was thinking I had to delete the D and insert an E...  this  makes sense, the layout is not a block as it would be in a dwg file.

Or you can being in E on a new Annoset and have both and just turn them on and off.  Joe seems to have it working but mine still has a few bugs.

I'm already done with the updated sheet size..  easy!

I have Arch B,C,D,&E all on page zero - but they are on different sets of Layers.  I have a Layer Set for each size.  This is a trick Scott Hall taught me several years ago.

Joe...is there another thread you know of that explains how to set this up?

Here is a thread where Scott posted a video : https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/17201-apply-new-layout-sheet/?tab=comments#comment-144409
