Change paper size defaults in print menu?
-
Hi there...
On program start up Layout keeps re-setting the default paper size in the print menu back to A4, I hardly ever print on A4 paper at all...so this is very unpleasant! Is there a way to set A3 as the default paper size?
Regards
David

I'm having the same issue.... I think you have to set the default paper size for the system.

how do you set the default paper size for the system?
-
You go to your Printer Panel that shows all your printers and right click on the default printer and then go to Printing Preferences>Page Size>ARCH D
-
You should be able to set A3 by either using:
FILE>NEW, pick the paper template from the dialogue and at the bottom select "Always Use The Selected Template"
or
EDIT>PREFERENCE>STARTUP and enter the required template name and select use default.
The Startup page gives you a number of template options as to how LO works when you start a new drawing.

Hi ArCad-UK
I tried the setting A3 templates for start up...
On start up I also checked by going to: File > Document Setup > Paper - the paper size shows up as A3.
But if I print it still prints in A4, unless I go to: File > Page setup and re-set it from default A4 to A3. Note: if I set it to A3, save the file and restart the program it will revert back to A4, and it starts all over again...very annoying.Any ideas?

Ah I see. You have to go through FILE>PAGE SETUP this happens a lot in Windows where software doesn't retain the paper size and adjust the printer for you. I tend to favour the export to PDF option which gets around the problem in the paperless age but even Adobe Reader needs you to configure the paper if you want a hard copy.
