Draftsight Drawing

Hello

I'm looking for a way to modify the basemap on draftsight in order to make a document template with a vertical A4 cartridge. I have the A3 horizontal, the A4 horizontal but no way to do it vertical....

That's almost it... the printing configuration is good but I'm still with the visual problem cf image

I'm dry: I haven't found how to do it, but it's possible to use one of the DraftSight templates to have a portrait sheet:

By right-clicking on the "Sheet" tabs, you can do "from the model" and from there create a portrait model (the first one is in portrait for me).

So I'm not hallucinating, there's a trick. I turned all this in all directions and for the printing it's ok but it's just the visual that blocks. it may also be a matter of printer configuration which takes by default the A3 portrait even if I have set A4 vertical!!

It's okay, it works by recreating another sheet. It seems that we can't modify the existing one.

All I have to do is fill in the fields and it will be good. Thank you

Hello

 

I have the same problem right now. I've been wanting to have a portrait window for a while instead of a landscape format.

 

Whatever I do, the view is always in landscape format. Even if I create a new window with one of the existing templates called standardisio sheet 1 or sheet 2.

 

Can you help me?
