HC78063: PRINT: PAGESETUP.PAPERSIZE DOES NOT AFFECT IN A MACRO TO PLOT

APAR status

• Closed as user error.

Error description

• Env : CATIA V5R5SP3   WindowsNT
  XEROX 4036 Plotter with LAN connection
  
  Prob:
  pagesetup.papersize does not affect in a macro to plot.
  Description:
  When he is going to print out a catia drafting via CATIA Macro,
  the size definition is ignored.
  He can only use 13 as a default value of PageSetup.PaperSize.
  But he can change the size by File - Print.
  .
  Operation Scenario:
  1. Start CATIA and open 2 CATDrawings.
  2. Start EXCEL and open printtest.xls
  3. Click CommandButton1 on EXCEL
  ---> 2 Drawings will be plotted but the size is strange.
  .
  How to confirm the macro:
  1. On EXCEL, TOOL - MACRO - Visual Basic Editor
  2. Double click Sheet1(Sheet1) in VBAProject(printtest.xls)
  .
  Remk:
  Once we comment out DrawSheet.PageSetup.PaperSize =
  DrawSheet.PaperSize
  in this macro, we can print out the drawings with the size which
  is defined CATIA.
  The reason why we would like to use this macro is that we cannot
  save the size for printing into the drawing itself, and it is
  very hard to print a lot of drawings by CATIA File - Print. So
  we would like to print them
  by using CATIA macro.
