ARCH paper sizes are widely used for architectural and construction drawings in North America. ARCH D (24 × 36 in) and ARCH E1 (30 × 42 in) are especially common.
ARCH A is 9 × 12 in (229 × 305 mm). In AutoCAD, select the real printer or PDF device first, then choose ARCH A from that device’s Paper Size list and make sure the Layout title block matches the physical sheet.
ARCH B is 12 × 18 in (305 × 457 mm). In AutoCAD, select the real printer or PDF device first, then choose ARCH B from that device’s Paper Size list and make sure the Layout title block matches the physical sheet.
ARCH C is 18 × 24 in (457 × 610 mm). In AutoCAD, select the real printer or PDF device first, then choose ARCH C from that device’s Paper Size list and make sure the Layout title block matches the physical sheet.
ARCH D is 24 × 36 in (610 × 914 mm). In AutoCAD, select the real printer or PDF device first, then choose ARCH D from that device’s Paper Size list and make sure the Layout title block matches the physical sheet.
ARCH E is 36 × 48 in (914 × 1219 mm). In AutoCAD, select the real printer or PDF device first, then choose ARCH E from that device’s Paper Size list and make sure the Layout title block matches the physical sheet.
ARCH E1 is 30 × 42 in (762 × 1067 mm). In AutoCAD, select the real printer or PDF device first, then choose ARCH E1 from that device’s Paper Size list and make sure the Layout title block matches the physical sheet.
