In addition, the page setup also includes many other settings and options
such as
The orientation of the plot, portrait or landscape
The plot scale
Whether lineweights should be plotted
The shading style
By default, the first time you access a layout, it becomes initialized, and a
default page setup is assigned to it. Default page setups are assigned names
such as *model*, *layout1*, *layout2*, and so on.
Reuse Named Page Setups
You can save plot device and other page setup settings as named page setups
that can be modified and imported into other drawings.
Named page setups are saved in the current drawing file and can be imported
into other drawing files and applied to other layouts.
If you want to plot the same layout more than one way, or if you want to
specify the same output options for several layouts, use named page setups.
You can apply a named page setup to model space or to a layout using the
Page Setup Manager. Other options available in the Page Setup Manager include
Apply a named page setup saved with one layout to another layout in the
same drawing
Modify the settings of a page setup at any time
Import a named page setup from another drawing, and apply it to layouts
in the current drawing
You can also apply different named page setups to the same layout to achieve
specific results when plotting. For example, you might create the named page
setups in the following table to control scaling and paper size.
