Define fixed drawing sizes and connect layouts

When a drawing layout uses fixed drawing sizes, it has a specific size (width and height), and a specific table layout. You can use fixed drawing sizes in autosizing the drawings.

Use fixed sizes when you print drawings to small (A4 and A3) printing devices.

Single-part and assembly drawings typically use fixed drawing sizes.

  4. Enter the width and height of the fixed drawing size.
  5. Connect the fixed drawing size to a table layout by selecting the table layout the list.
  6. Click Update.
  7. Repeat steps 3–6 for each fixed size.
  8. Click Apply or OK.
