We have standard pagesetups in our template sheet file for each plotter and sheet size as well as a lisp routine (courtesy of posting several years ago) that loads the pagesetups into each dwg from the template file as it opens. Have been successfully using this for several years - soemthing has changed and sheet sizes are failing. We have taken it thru several versions of Autocad, currently running 2008, 2009 and 2011. Plotters configurations and sheet sizes saved in PC3 files with PMP attached on network drive. All paths set and each machine installed with same plotter drivers. We have converted network from Novel to Windows, but all PC3 files have been re-created from scratch as well as the template files. Still not able to get the sheet sizes to hold. Any suggestions?

sheet sizes, I believe, are stored in the PMP file, if you recreate the pc3 file, you sometimes cant link the same pmp file to it. Perhaps you pmp files are now in a read only location. I've noticed that lately, that seems to be an issue when switching to new versions, and making sure that our pmp paths are called correctly.
