There is but..........i did the follwing.

Created  a pagesetup.dwt with (for now) two pagesetups
- A3 Laserjet scale to fit
- pdf a3 scale to fit.

When i open previously posted test.dwg and import the pagesetup.dwt it does really import the two setups.
Then i launch plottabs en in the list it shows the three setups the current one and the two i imported.
When i switch of the save to layout option, all the tabs are printed or a pdf is created but all the tabs pagesetups are messed up.!
I think changed to the imported pagesetup.Is this my mistake in making dwt.?

Don't save to layout.

There's also no reason to have a PageSetups.dwt.

Simply put all your page setups in your default template, and also use that same template as the Drawing Overrides Template in your sheet set.  That way, every new drawing you create will have all your page setups already in it (for when you use the PLOT command), and they will also be available when you do a "Publish with Page Setup Override" from the SSM.
