    Default Set existing Page Setup to current.

    I'm normally not one to simply ask for a lisp program. However, I don't have time to research this and I am in a pinch. I have a good page setup in all of the drawings in a folder. However, it isn't set current in any of them. I need to set the correct page setup as current in model space only. I know how to create scripts so I don't need any assistance with that. I suspect it would be one line of Visual Lisp code. Does anyone already have something like this. I've search via Google and can't find anything that will quite do the job. I'm using AutoCAD 2013.

    Thank You.

    You may need to explain more...
    You have a named page set up that you want to set current in model space?

    Correct. And it already exists in the drawing. It's just not set as current.

    Mike, does the page setup need to be current to meet client criteria, or simply for printing purposes?

    I only ask as #1) AFAIK, this is not something that can be done via ObjectDBX, only by Script & Command calls, #2) Applying a named page setup to multiple sheets (Model, or Layout) can easily be done via the Publish Command.

    Not sure you can set a named page setup in MS (as set up in a PS layout).
    If you go to pagesetup in MS, you don't get the layout page setup names.

    You may have to set it up like a plot configuration, as you would with a script.

    But I may be wrong..
    I can't find much info on it, maybe someone else knows how to access that info.
