1.2.5 - Modify the Paper Sizes and Margins
Step Description:
Modify the paper size so that the margins are set to zero or you write down the margins specified. Remember the sum is what matters.
The default precision is to the hundredths but internally it is kept further out. It is good practice to set the margins to 0. The PC3 file is specific to this version of Civil 3D for the current user.
Press the Save As button to save the PC3 file if it has not been saved.
