Hi Jo, Thanks for the reply!...... So I don't know where to look for the 2 sizes..... in my .set profile I have tried a few different sizes, but what do I compare that to? (Its Bentley hosted by the way!)

I've also noticed the plots are very poor and don't include attached PDF files within the drawing... I don't know if it because they are being scaled from A1 to A4?

What I need are instructions on how its done! ..... but cant find any :-(

What paper size do you have defined in your .set file? You will need that same form size defined on the iCS for PDF server. For example, if you have ISO A3 as the form defined in your settings file, you will need an "ISO A3" form size on the server. If it is named A3 in your settings file, it will need to be A3 on the server. The name has to match. Does Bentley host your iCS server or do you host it yourselves?

Does anybody have any help?!...... Every time I try, my prints are coming out at A4, regardless of what paper size I have in my .set profile

I am not aware of a guide for doing this, but I can tell you that if you are planning to create renditions of Civil 3D drawings, don't bother. they will not look right - particularly grading plans. We have put many hours into this and worked with folks at bentley to get it as good as we could, but it was not enough. we logged several defects that are still pending.
