Hi,

Rigth now I create custom-sized (the page size is defined by the extents of the Layout) PDF with PDF Creator. But I'd like to use internal BricsCAD mechanism - so the question is:
How can I add (using AutoLISP) a custom page size to "Print as pdf.pc3"?

Any thoughts will be appeciated.

    Hi Andrzej,

    I had a similar question only a few weeks ago and the below is the official response from Bricsys.

    "from Vladimir Kalagin,

    It is impossible to create a custom paper size in .PC3 files programmatically at the current stage of development. We plan to investigate this further and implement it, if possible.

    Best Regards,
    The Bricsys Team"

    Hope that helps

    Haven't tried it in yrs., but it comes to memory that if one loads the printer driver as a separate & unique name you can customize that driver setting & paper size should be associated w/ that driver & therefore PC3 file. I could be wrong, but that is how I had to do it yrs. ago in Acad, don't know why it wouldn't work w/ Bcad.
