IsoDraw drawing sizes preferences

I have been working on my PRF files to get IsoDraw environment the way I want. I have noticed that in the PRF file there isn't a portion of the file for setting drawing sizes. Is there a way I can add to the list drawing sizes under EDIT--->Preference--->Drawing--->Format?

I am using IsoDraw 7.3 Datecode M031 build 1

Thanks,

We have that for another purpose as well. Depending on your needs, and trustworthyness (is that really a word) of your users, you might do what we did where we simply ask the user for the width and then height of the document. I modded so they make their entry in inches and then a simple conversion to metric takes hold. One issue you may hit is if you want your tif to center in the drawing. Depending on the complexity it might be as simple as cut, center page, paste. If not, there is a macro around the forums to center and maintain layers.

If I'm following the request, the settings you are looking for fall under the PRF heading of 'Preferences for new documents'. The particular lines are Window page size X/Y. Note it's mm just like all the other preferences.

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for the response. What I am wanting to do is add different drawings sizes to my choices. When you pull down the list at EDIT--->Preference--->Drawing--->Format you see a list of drawing sizes like A0 through B5 and others. I want to add to this list with drawing sizes I use in my manual creations. I bet that is clear as mud .

Got it now, but unfortunately I don't have a clue how to do that if it is possible. Sorry!
