Publish only prints one file.

[tplarkin7]

I add 10 dwgs to publisher and only 1 print is sent. I've unchecked background printing. It will open all files, but still only 1 print is sent.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

First suggestion: Give us a hint, what software are you using? This problem seems familiar.

AutoCAD 2009. The Autodesk forum gave me the answer. (They were slow, so I came here.)

Set PUBLISHCOLLATE to 0.

It is a known bug. The first plot was getting overridden with it set to 1.

I guess that's why it seemed familiar. I too run 2009 and probably read something about it. Sorry I had a brain freeze on you but I am glad to hear you did find a solution to your problem. Thank you for updating us as well.

yeh its a known problem for 2009 unfortunatly..:roll:


so what do you do when it doesnt work at all? even when you set the publishcollate to 0??

it goes through the motions but at the end in the log says -

hi ya peeps,

i had a break through on our issue once i looked a bit more at it..

basically our page setup had the drawings running off the edges of a regular size drawing (attachment shows oversize at top and bottom).

when i adjusted the window smaller but still had all content.

publish worked with no errors and printed out the 30 drawings.

cheers
