DBWDwg2PdfCustomSheetFormats.PAR

DBWDwg2PdfCustomSheetFormats.PAR file

This parameter file can control any Custom Sheet Format in the DWG to PDF conversions.
Its location is the shared PAR directory (usually DBWORKS_SERVER\PAR\)

The custom sheet formats must be written in millimeters

Example

;
;DBWDwg2PdfCustomSheetFormats.PAR
;The file assigns any custom sheet format that might be used for the conversion
;from DWG to PDF
; Any line must be entered as:
; <Xmm<x<Ymm>
; All values are in millimeters
; The separator must be the '.' ( dot ) character
;
;Example:
; 824x591
; 1017.5x588.8
;
;The file must terminate with an empty line
;
824.0x591.0
<empty line>

Remarks

The customer can add as many entries as he likes (included also the standard formats he is currently using), all expressed in MILLIMETERS.
This functionality works only together with the BIN\DBWDwgConv.exe dated 20121115 or newer.

For understanding what is the actual size of a DWG, you need to open it in Autocad, and use the MEASURE functionality.
Then take notes of the actual width and height of the DWG's geometry, included any special sign on the drawing's outer frame: images_DBWDwg2PdfCustomSheetFormats
