Remove Page Setups From Drawing Files

[CADdancer]

Hello AUGI Members:

Is there a way using VBA or Vlisp to remove (delete) all of the page setups that are defined on a drawing automatically, without manually opening the Page Setup Manager and deleting the Page Setups one at a time....??

I have many drawings that have Page Setups for old plotters, defined on the drawing and now that we have new plotting and printing devices when a user goes into the plot command AutoCAD is looking for the old plot devices define in the page setups. This causes the AutoCAD session to hang for a long period of time and sometimes even crashes AutoCAD.

Any assistance with this matter would be appreciated.....!!!

Regards,
Vince

Below are some Routines/General information found on AUGI.com that you should prove helpful with the Page Setup and Plotting process:Plus, HERE is the link to the associated HotNews (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31) forum thread.

Have a good one, Mike

The above link appears to be broken. Could I get a re-post of that info, it sound like exactly what I need.

Thanks,

That article was 6 years ago! I doubt somebody did save it for future use. :D

You might want to try this instead.


Sub RemoveAllPageSetups()
Dim PageSetup As AcadPlotConfiguration
For Each PageSetup In ThisDrawing.PlotConfigurations
PageSetup.Delete
Next
End Sub
