Publish Options

Hello, I currently publish my layouts through the sheet set manager. Using Publish--> Page override i can publish say ten sheets at once and dump them in my directory my question is there setting or a way i can add in say a revision number into the name of the 10 pdf files created without having to do it manually? Does This Make sense?

It makes sense, but no, there's no straight-forward way of doing it.

I generally use some lisp to rename the files afterwards. It uses a script stepping through the DWG's to extract the file/tab name, drawing number and revision number as displayed in the TB. Then it searches for PDF/DWF files named according to the File/Tab names and renames them to the drawing number and revision number only. Similar for my eTransmit zip's, but there I simply use a script directly to eTransmit each DWG in one go.

I've seen some write a script to plot to DWF/PDF instead of using Publish, which basically does the same thing as I do for the eTransmits. That would probably make this more of a one-step process.

I think there was a wish for it on AUGI ... let me check ... yep 3 years ago it was wished for, but nothing happened: http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=69242

Maybe it's time to wish again!

Yeah Cheers that does make sense. id have to take the time to go through writing the script file. i dont suppose anyone has any script or something remotely similar they would like to share?
