Overview of Page Setup Settings

A page setup is a collection of plot device and other settings that affect the appearance and format of your final output from a layout tab. These settings can be modified and applied to other layouts.

Once you click a layout tab, you can specify the settings for the layout's page setup, which includes the plot device settings and other settings that affect the appearance and format of the output. The original page setup settings are stored in the drawing file with the layout, but you can modify the settings of a page setup at any time.

By default, every initialized layout has a page setup associated with it. A layout is initialized if its paper size is defined in the page setup to any size other than 0 x 0. You can apply a named page setup saved with one layout to another layout. This creates a new page setup with the same settings as the first one.
