Hi Guys,

I am in dire need of assistance with AutoCAD 2009. We have a huge vault of old CAD drawings and the issue that we keep running into is that once some of these drawings are plotted and the drawings is re-saved the paper space layouts are flipping from landscape to portrait ignoring the default plot settings.

So we end up having to go to each paper space tab and individually switch each page back to landscape and then save, after that the drawings is usually good and won't repeat the problem but it's a real hassle as some of these drawings have a few dozen pages.

Is there any way to remedy this from happening or at the very least is there a way to select all the paperspace tabs and switch the page orientaion of all of them in one shot? I've been searching for quite sometime and can't find anyone else running into this issue and I'm at my wits end trying to figure out something that to me seems as though it should be much easier, i.e. highlighting all the tabs and changing the settings for the bunch but alas CAD does not allow this.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to help with this vexation.

You might be able to write a script to access the page set-up, and either change it for you, or at least call-up the right page for you to click on it, and then continue onwards to set-up the next page.

I don't know how 2009 handles scripts though.
