Batch plotting

I have been asked to batch plot several drawings but the help file in AutoCAD 2011 only refers to DWF, PDF files. How can I batch plot several dwg files?

Thanks in advance,

Look at SheetSetManager.

Look at SheetSetManager.

I looked at Sheet Set Manager but that looks like the only layouts are Paper Space layouts. Does that mean that all drawings have to be in Paper Space? They all are model space drawings.

147 sheets, minimal programming experience. The one who did the drawings is plotting them one by one. I looked at the SSM and it showed the Model space views but the publish to plotter option is grayed out. Thanks anyway. I have not used sheet sets for awhile.

what's up with the PUBLISH command?

Ouch, then no SSM. You are going to have figure out the extents of the 'plot' and go from there. Any programming experience? How many sheets?

I was a little rusty on the SSM. I finally figured out how to do the batch plot but the drawings were made with out setting them up with details such as plotting to limits, ctb files, and specified printer. after I set those parameters up I chose "Batch Plot" and I could plot model space layouts alone because the paperspace layouts were not initialized.

Thanks for the help though anyway,
