Specifies information about the layout for a template or a drawing. You can set the sheet size, orientation, and watermark.

Sheet Size

Sets the size of the sheet. If you select Custom as the sheet size, you must type custom W and H values.

Standard

Defines the sheet size from a list of standard ANSI and ISO paper sizes.

  • For a template, only the set of delivered sheet sizes are available. For an existing drawing, you can select from all sheet sizes (*.pid files) that are saved in the folder specified by the PID Template Path setting in Options Manager.

  • You can specify a different sheet size for an existing drawing; that is, you can change, for example, a B-size drawing to a C-size. Choose the template size from the list.

Custom

Defines the sheet size according to the recorded width (W) and height (H) values. If you select Custom as the sheet size, you must type custom W and H values. The Custom option is not available for existing drawings, only for new templates.

W (Width)

Displays the width of the custom sheet size.

H (Height)

Displays the height of the custom sheet size.

The units of measure and precision of the width (W) and height (H) values are determined by the values in the Paper units box.

Orientation

Select either the Portrait or Landscape option. The page orientation is displayed according to each option.

Landscape

Displays the page so that the long edge is the top of the page.

Portrait

Displays the page so that the short edge is the top of the page.

Watermark

Allows you to choose a graphic that faintly appears in the background of the drawing. Select the ellipsis button to search for a watermark graphic.

Show Watermark

Specifies when a watermark appears by selecting either the While working option or the While printing option.

While printing

Displays the watermark only when you are printing the drawing.

While working

Displays the watermark in the background while you are working within the drawing. The watermark also appears on any printed copies.

Paper units

Determines the units and precision of the sheet size width (W) and height (H) values for the selected template or drawing. These properties are read-only for existing drawings.

Units

Specifies the units of measure of the sheet width and height. Choose between the following units:

in

mm

cm

When selecting between different units, the width (W) and height (H) values are calculated accordingly.

Precision

Specifies the precision of the sheet width and height as the number of decimal places or as a fraction.

The units of measure and precision also determine font size properties for text added in drawing auxiliary graphics.

Default

Selects sheet size data from the E-Size.pid template.

After making changes to the page layout of an existing drawing, in Smart P&ID Drawing Manager you should run the command File > Out-of-Date-Drawings > Update.  For more information on the Update command, see Update Command in Drawing Manager Help.
