Mijo1069 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Hello, my issue: no matter which drawing sheet I chose it always defaults to 18" x 24", making difficult to export a plan unless it can fit in an 18x24 drawing sheet. What I'm I doing doing wrong or not doing? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 In HD Pro, Architectural and Suite 2021 all paper size restrictions have been removed. In past versions the max size was 18x24. What do you have? DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mijo1069 Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Hello. Yes, I'm referencing Home designer Pro 21. It won't allow me to import onto a drawing sheet no bigger than what it appears to be a default of 22" x 17." I can only import those images by reducing to 1/8" and only if the plan fits those parameters. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT is a mechanical tool, IT doesn't do or keep YOU from doing anything, unless it contains pre-programmed limitations. You, currently are the only sources of any limitations.

Mijo1069 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Yes, Sir, I agree with you, and even a dummy after repeatedly watching the same videos something will be retained. Last watched, among many, Layout set ups on Designer Pro 19. I am at Pro 21. I tried something different than video and got the largest sheet, but haven't been able to duplicate. There are about 4 steps involved but keeps reverting back to 17x22. Its important since I need to fit a lot 132.50 ft long. Thank you for trying thought. Hopefully I can manage with this $500+ program. Edited January 18, 2021 by Mijo1069 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGreiner Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I've been having the same problem and I believe I figured it out. All the tutorials talk about setting up the drawing sheet but I was always in plan view. Go ahead and set up your drawing sheet in plan view (File> Print > drawing sheet setup). Now, starting a new step, you return to "file" and towards the top of the commands click "new layout". This should open a blank new layout page without sending over what you have in plan view ( file > New Layout). Now, in the Layout view repeat step one of setting up a drawing sheet, i.e. ( file > print > Drawing Sheet Setup). One tip, in the layout view page setup you want your drawing scale to remain the default 1" to 1", it is in the plan view drawing sheet set up that you want to setup your desired scale, example; 3/32" to 1'. This is what finally worked for me after hours of playing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
