Plot paper size Arch D 24"x36"

Ed Beers's Photo Ed Beers 02 Jul 2020

How do I set the plot paper size to US Arch D 24"x36"?

I'm using nanoCAD 5.0

This is required for submission of plans to my local building department.

Hello,
with Page Setup manager
New and choose a layout
Choose a printer and click on setup (right of printer)
Choose a paper size and orientation on the list; also you can Modify or Add for make a personnalised format.

That's ok ?

I have attempted to add a 36"x24" D size to the list. It appears to accept the new format.

However, the new format does not appear on the pick list.

I am using the "Internal PDF Plotter".

This might be due to the limitation of NanoCAD 5 not being able to utilize large format PDF's from the internal PDF plotter? I am not 100% positive about this but I know I had some similar issues and had to do some tinkering for a solution. I personally installed a free PDF plotter called Bulldog PDF and that has worked for me so maybe try that.
