Topic: Remove the Page setup from the command Plot

[Coder]

Hello everybody .

Is it possible to remove all the list of page setup names and return it to default ?

Thank you in advance

[Kerry]

Yes,
Do you have a drawing with correct defaults ?

[Coder]

Hi Kerry

The default is the same as if you open a new drawing and have only that three options :
<None>
<Previous>
Import...

Thank you for your answer .

[Kerry]

OK,
If you just want to delete all

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (defun deleteAllPageSetups ()
2.     (vlax-for pc (vla-get-plotconfigurations (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
3.         (vla-delete pc)
4.     )
5. )

If you want to delete all AND restore setups from a Template drawing ( that has your plot setups saved)

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (defun c:ChangePageSetups (/ old_expert template)
2.     (setq old_expert (getvar "expert")
3.           template   "c:/kdub19/Templates/CTT.dwg"
4.     )
5.     (setvar "expert" 5)
6.     (deleteAllPageSetups)
7.     (command "-PSETUPIN" template "*")
8.     (setvar "expert" old_expert)
9.     (princ)
10. )
11.  

And the wildcard in the command line can be changed to load a specific setup
ie

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (command "-PSETUPIN" template "ThisIstheSetupFor-A1-PDF-that-I-want-to-use")

That's great

At the moment , I need the first code that you posted and it works great .

Thank you so much .

[Kerry]

You're welcome

[Coder]

I am sorry , the code worked on the first drawing and did not work on the rest . 

It returns nil at the command line . 

[Coder]

Please take a look at the sample drawing .

I can not delete the page setups *PART 1* and *PART 2* and many more on the other drawings .

Many thanks

[Kerry]

Can you post a copy of that drawing before you ran the routine.
I'll guess the problem is related to your setup naming. I have never seen Setups named using * before. I thought that was an illegal naming character 

[Kerry]

Yes, it is illegal for me anyway ..

[Coder]

Yes , you are right Kerry , I couldn't name the a new page setup with these characters but this is how I have received them from the consultant .

Could you delete these pages from the drawing ?

Many thanks .
