PAPERSHEETFORMAT

This function inserts a sheet of selected dialog window size and scale. The Sheet is drawn on a separate layer in the form of a prescaled block. Program recognises drawing units (mm/cm/dm/m/feet/inches). The user is asked to choose format, scale, orientation, or whether he wants the title and scale to be shown. The program remembers chosen settings from previous use so the user doesn't have to set everything from the beginning. The user can also specify his own desired dimensions under the USER_DEFINED button. In this section, there also is an option to draw a paper sheet. The program will then calculate the dimensions of the paper according to a defined scale. The user can estimate in this way what paper size he is looking for.

PAPERFORMATTOGGLE

Toggles selected PaperFormat block between horizontal and vertical orientation.

(PPP) or 'PICKPAPER

This function is supposed to be run transparently, therefore comes with no icon. The function returns coordinates of the lower left and upper right corner of the selected rectangle (it can be a nested rectangle). The function is meant for selecting a plot scope determined by Paper Format Block created with the PAPERSHEETFORMAT command or any drawn rectangle. The function should be used when the user is prompted to select the Plot Area in the Plot dialog window. When AutoCAD asks for the first corner of the plot area then this function should be run just by typing (PPP) with brackets. The user can then just pick this rectangle or rectangle in PaperSheetBloc (no need to scroll and pick points precisely).

PAPERFORMATEDIT

This function allows to edit the parameters of the PaperSheet Block.

QUICKPAGESETUP

With this command the user can set the plot area for a current work space (layour or model). The user is prompted to specify the area by picking the points or selecting an object ( fe. rectangular polyline) and the finction assings it to Page Setup Manager. The command is compatible with "PaperSheet" Blocks generated by PAPERSHEETFORMAT command. After selecting a "PaperSheet" block the command will also set in the Page Setup Manager scale of the selected block(calculated according to the actual drawing units). Paper size and the orientation the user has to select manually. Modifying custom paper sizes in printers PC3 file is not possible with Autolisp.
