Setting paper size for plotting.

[tomstickland]

The "new" plot menu (introduced between nx3 and 6) does not contain a direct control of the paper size.
I regularly use a printer with A4 and A3 paper available.
Is there any way of forcing it to use the A3?
At the moment it defaults to A4 and the only way to get A3 is to use the "advanced plot" option which then goes through to the old plotting windows.

define printergroups or plot profiles including the different paper sizes.

I'm having a look, but that looks like a complicated way of controlling a very basic requirement.

I've found a simple way of doing it.

Do plot - advanced plot.
Set the paper size.
Save the profile (button near bottom of advanced plot).
Make the profile the default profile (button near top of "Printer" tab in Advanced plot).
That at least forces all the drawings in a user session to be A3. I'll see what happens when I restart it.
