multiple layers


Recommended Posts

Posted

hi

 

i have a dwg, with each sheet on a different layer, around 12 sheets/layers

 

is there a way to print these off in one go ?

 

thanks

Print the multiple layouts? Select them all, right click, choose Publish.

or if you just type command PUBLISH you can select the layouts you want to print.

 

NOTE: you can use this method to print many different drawings, as well as just multiple layouts in each drawing.

there are no layouts created, i just have multiple layers , each one representing a sheet within the drawing, is there a way, printing off these layers in the manager ?

 

thanks

Do you mean the layers are on top of one another e.g. ground floor plan with first second etc drawn over the top of it? Even so you should be able to set up layouts then isolate the layers on different sheets. With LT there isn't likely to be an easy answer.

 

Can you upload the file or screen shot?

yep, that is it, is electrical schematics, each sheet drawn over the top, on different layers, have LT 2010, guess I will just print off by turning each layer on in turn ( I dont need to work on dwgs, just want a print off to do some calcs)

 

thanks

oh so you did mean layers!? sorry to mislead - afraid glen is right, don't know of a clever workaround to this, other than to set up layouts. which would take longer than the layer control method.

It would definitely take longer if you only require to print it once, but if you need another set then you can use the PUBLISH command. You might also want to look at the layer states manager the original draftsman/woman may have set up layer states to quickly change layers, although it appears from your first post that it is one sheet per layer.
