Drawing Size
| PARAMETER | A or US |
|---|---|
| Purpose | These parameters control the output drawing size for PDF documents. |
| Values | A: 0: A0 to 5: A5 |
| US: A: ANSI A to E: ANSI E | |
| Note | If only A or US is used, then Drawing Size Mode is ignored |

| Use | With all graphic formats |
Extents
| PARAMETER | EXTENTS |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This parameter forces the entire extents (all of the graphics) in the current “space” (Model Space or Paper Space) to be converted, not just the graphics in the current view. |
| Example | -EXTENTS |
| Alias | None |
| Use | With all graphic formats |
Height
| PARAMETER | HEIGHT |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This parameter sets the height of the output drawing. The size is given in the default units of the output format (pixels for SVG and points (1/72nd of an inch) for PDF). |
| Example | -HEIGHT 792 |
| Alias | -HGT |
| Use | With all graphic formats |
| Note | The drawing width is not affected |
Layout Name
| PARAMETER | LAY |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This parameter controls which Paperspace Layout is converted. The default is “Layout1”. |
| Notes | The Layout must exist in the drawing or nothing will be converted and an error message will be output. If a Layout Name is listed, Paperspace Mode will be automatically selected. |
| Example | -LAY=Layout30 |
| Alias | -LAYOUT |
| Use | With all graphic formats |
Size
| PARAMETER | SIZE |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This parameter sets both the height and the width of the output drawing to the same value. The size is given in the default units of the output format (pixels for SVG and points (1/72nd of an inch) for PDF). |
| Example | -SIZE 792 |
| Alias | -SZ |
| Use | With all graphic formats |
Space Mode
| PARAMETER | SP[ACE] |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This parameter controls whether the Paperspace or Modelspace portion of the AutoCAD drawing is converted. |
| Values | 0 – Last Saved View |
| 1 – Modelspace | |
| 2 – Paperspace L[AST] – Last Saved View | |
| M[ODEL] – Modelspace | |
| P[APER] – Paperspace | |
| Note | If Layout Name (-L) is used, then Space Mode is ignored. If Space Mode is set to Paperspace without using the Layout Name command, then “Layout1” is used as the Layout Name. |
| Example | -SP=1 |
| -SP=M | |
| Alias | -LAST – Last Saved View |
| -MODEL – Modelspace | |
| -PAPER – Paperspace | |
| Use | With all graphic formats |
View
| PARAMETER | VIEW |
|---|---|
| Purpose | This parameter controls which Modelspace View is converted. |
| Notes | The View must exist in the drawing or nothing will be converted and an error message will be output |
| Example | -VIEW=Model1 |
| Alias | -VN |
| Use | With all graphic formats |
