Page layout

FM 8.5. Is there a way to detect if the layout is in portrait or landscape mode. If so, I would like to use it in a script step for printing.

i think you need to predefine what you want the layout to look like printed. it works the other way round. what are you trying to achieve?

I don't think there's a way to detect the page setup. But it's pretty simple to include a Page Setup step with every print script.

I have many layouts to print, some in portrait and some in landscape. In a printing script, I would like to use an if statement to select the appropriate Print step depending on the layout orientation. I need a way to determine the page orientation for the if statement.

[Maarten Witberg]

I'm afraid you have to keep track of that yourself like ender suggested.

so after each go to layout [ layoutname ] script step, add a page setup [ settings ] script step. As developer, you should know the orientation of the layouts.
