magnifying space print layout

[Novembrine Waltz]

hello to everyone, I'm sorry but I'm new (and maybe even a little shady).
I use the 2011 version of autocad.
I need to widen the printing space of the layout, in practice increase the area inside at the deduction at the expense of the area outside the square dotted.
Can you help me?

to change the printable area (the dotted one) you must enter the printer configuration editor by pressing the property button in the print window next to the printer name. then go to the tab settings devices and documents>size sheet defined by the user>change standard sheet size (print area) and in the bottom panel select the sheet format you want to change the margins, press change and set the margins you want, then press on end.
You can also choose to create a custom size layout sheet starting from scratch by clicking the Add button and following the wizard.

I did a test (i.e. I looked), but having an a4 printer and having to work on a3 sheets does not make me change the thing.
i.e. in practice I would like every time I open a layout the dotted pane was very close to the edge of the sheet.

then try to choose a virtual printer like dwgtopdf.pc3, so do what I told you and you will see that you will correctly set the layout margins.

I did the test again.
then practically if I change the setting with the press "dwgtopdf" it does to me.
But if I create another layout, I put it in a3 and I return the cursed edge. . .
Is there a doubt that I should do that every time I create a layout? That sounds a little crazy.

Maybe I get it.
I create a pc3 (i.e., except for all modified sheets, a little as I save myself a preset pattern of quota preferences or a worksheet with layers that I use basic).
But I still have to cuff us.
Tell me at least if I am on the right path > <

once you have created the layout with the margins you feel right you don't need to start from scratch to create a new one with the same margins, but just select the layout, hold down the ctrl key and move the layout holding down the left mouse button in a new location and release it as soon as the sign appears, which indicates precisely that you want to duplicate it (at least I solve it so the problem). then there may be other solutions. I still hope I explained. . .

I didn't quite understand your procedure, but maybe I managed to pull out.
I practically created a new "printer/plotter" to which I changed the settings of the print area, called "myname.pc3"
Now, every time I create a layout it creates it automatically in a4 so anyway you always have to change it.

ergo click on the layout, management page settings, and under the heading "printing/plotter" instead of marking "no" sign "myname.pc3" and at that point the layout is exactly as I asked.

I don't know if it's the right way, but I hope I didn't do anything, but if it were the resolution of the thing, maybe it could be useful to others!
I thank you, however, for the while I wait for other clarifications.

If you think you did better that way. to make it short: Select the a3 layout with the margins you feel right, then right-click the layout tab and from the menu choose "setting or copy", in the window that opens you select the layout you want to copy and tick up "create a copy" and press on ok. . .
