Batch/Multiple plotting

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to plot multiple dwg files in a single go all using the same plot settings. Is it possible to do this in AutoCad without having to use another program? I am using AutoCad 2009 LT by the way.

Also, is there a way to save a certain plot setup as the default so that I don't have to switch my page setup to every time I open a new drawing?

Thanks!

for batch plot try using publish.

for page set up, named page setup & tick apply to layouts in page setup manager.

Thanks for the reply. I've never used publish before, but is there a way to create a new page setup? Right now it is showing and I'm not sure how to change it.

I also tried the page setup manager but I need it to be saved as the default plot settings so that I don't have to do it to any new drawings I get. I created a new page setup but it disappears when I open a new drawing. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks again for the help.

I am too busy to write detail reply at the moment but i did quick search for you.

refer to this threads which explains how to use named page set up & also to take it to new files.

Hi Dipali,

Can you please help me right down the details for creating a named page set up and how to save it. How can i print multiple pages (models and layout) using publish command.

Thanks in advance.

can you right down in details some other time instead

Open the Plot Dialog Box while in Paperspace and make the necessary adjustments. Under "Page Setup" at the top, click the Add button. You can reuse and import this Page Setup into your other drawings. Or you can make it a default in the Publish Dialog Box for all sheets added.
