RPS — make the layout’s paper size match your rectangle

Draw the rectangle that represents your sheet, run RPS, and the current layout’s paper size becomes exactly that rectangle — set up through the DWG To PDF.pc3 plotter in millimetres.

No digging through the Page Setup Manager for a custom paper size: the drawing itself defines the sheet.
