Hi guys I want to write a batch file for plotting. Just got a few worries though. Plot settings in each drawing will vary regarding which plotter/printer it last went to. I want to plot out about 50 drawings to A3. How do I specify in a batch file which printer to send it to??? Also how do i specify monochrome in each one.

Any help would be aprreciated

Regards

What AutoCAD version are you using? The reason I ask is that the PUBLISH command can do everything you want.

yeah, I've mastered the Publish command within the last week because of your exact situation, granted I use ADT 2005, but i do believe i have 2004 somewhere on this machine
