    A "quick and dirty" way to do it with lisp is to go through the PLOT function with a COMMAND:

    (command "plot" "y" ""...

    Be sure to enter "Layout" for the "Enter plot area" prompt, a "y" for the "Save changes to layout" prompt and "n" for the "Proceed with plot" prompt.

    This snip of code will change the active layout's, page setup, plot area to
    extents.
    (setq Active_Layout (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-property
    (vlax-get-acad-object) 'ActiveDocument) 'ActiveLayout))
    (if Active_Layout (vlax-put-property Active_Layout 'PlotType 1))
