When I print from Autocad I find myself needing to set the printer custom properties several different ways depending on what I am printing
at the time. Sometimes I am printing a batch of shop drawings for my personal use so I set printer custom properties to print black ink only
at high speed. Sometimes I am printing 3D drawings to show or sell clients my designs, so i set printer custom properties to print color at
a low speed for a high quality print job. I have tried but I cant figure out a way to set this up so I can switch between three or four different custom printer property setups that doesnt reqire me to access multiple diolouge
boxes and change settings and click OK three or four times. Help!!

One way is to go through the plot command and use the Page setup feature. Once you have your settings save the Page setup. You can create multiple setups then only have to select the desired page setup. I have used this feature for creating print setups for printers, plotters and pdfs.

Hope this helps some.
