Page Setup - modify standard paper sizes

Today I couldn't answer to a user that is coming from AutoCAD. Is it possible to modify margins in standard paper sizes? In AutoCAD you can but I didn't find it in BricsCAD.
Of course a workaround is to add custom paper sizes, with standard widths/heights.

    Margins are normally set by the printer. A printer usually can't print on the entire page, so the space outside the area it can print on is the margin.

    Virtual PDF printers don't have that type of margin. They can print on the entire sheet.

    But a virtual printer could allow you to set an artificial margin, if it's designed that way. The virtual PDF printer that comes with Briscad (Print as PDF) allows you to do that, in the Custom paper sizes dialog box.
