purge page setup names

I have several unwanted saved page setup names listed and I cannot delete
them.
They are not listed in the 'user defined page setups' dialogue box but they
are listed in the pulldown.

These are in our template and are no longer worthy of being listed there.

Any suggestions in how to delete them?

Thanks
Michael

 

Do they match the names of your actual Layout tabs?

 

It is tricky, if not downright sneaky.

Open Page Setup. When you are in a Layout, and Paperspace...

This opens a Page Setup Manager. You should see a list of previously created Page
Setup names.

left click on one to highlight it, and then do a right click. This will produce a
menu that includes Delete.

Some of the ones listed are the same as my layouts. I guess they will
remain.
I was able to delete the others through the dialogue box.
Thanks

 

If you need something to run in a script download our demo for Multi-Batch
and use the script.

You could batch process a bunch of drawings by deleting all Pagesetups and
importing the ones you want.

If you want to set the default Pagesetup you can do so by running a plotting
script. In this script the last question is "Proceed with plot [Yes/No]
<Y>:" answer No.

 

Here's a lisp routine to get rid of 'em all....


;; Function to delete all user plot set ups
(defun cel_Pagesetups (/ curdwg pslayout x)
(vl-load-com)
(setq
curdwg (vla-get-ActiveDocument (vlax-get-Acad-Object))
pslayout (vla-get-Layout (vla-get-PaperSpace curdwg))
) ;_ end of setq
;; Call RefreshPlotDeviceInfo before GetPlotDeviceNames
(vla-RefreshPlotDeviceInfo pslayout)
(vlax-for x (vla-get-Plotconfigurations curdwg)
(vla-delete x)
) ;_ end of vlax-for
) ; End Plot_config_list
(cel_Pagesetups)
