Page Setup Manager for multiple layout tabs not just one at a time.

[Wish List System]

Summary: Ability to have a Page Setup Manager utility for multiple or all layout tabs instead of just individual tabs.

Description: Life would be so much easier if we could have a utility like Page Setup Manager that we can apply to multiple layout tabs at once. Currently every time any adjustments are made to our plotters or whatnot we have to go into each individual layout tab in every drawing and update with the new printer/plotter or a new plot style. There is a workaround when doing batch plots, yes, but it's still frustrating and time consuming.

One option would be to use a PC3 file with them which you could just overwrite when you get a new printer/plotter. When all layouts in a drawing reference the same Page Setup it's the only one you have to modify.

There are many lisp routines out their for modifying Page Setups for multiple layouts as well like:
Layout Utilities ver 0.3 by Irné Barnard https://forums.augi.com/showthread.p...l=1#post851674
or
PageSetups.lsp by CAB http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=8855.0;all

Of course adding these features to the Page Setup Manager or adding a utility similar to Reference Manager would be great as well!

(foreach layoutname (layoutlist)
  (vla-SetActivePageSetup layoutname “YourPageSetupName”)
)

Meaningless text so I can make this post.

That's kind of you to say, my friend.

Forgot to mention that the above custom LispFunction also works with ObjectDBX & Core Console for batch processing.
