# Customizing the Drawing Page Size

You can customize the page size of a drawing to meet various standards and custom sizes.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** You can change the page size at any time, but Handset Designer may move existing objects on the page (such as Walls and Columns) as a result.

- The default page size for drawings in US units is: Letter: 8 1/2" x 11"
- The default page size for drawings in Metric units is: A4: 297 mm. x 210 mm.
