KennyJ,

The post you are replying to is rather an old one!

Welcome to the forum though

4) I see all my linetypes as continous on screen. whats wrong?

Adjust linetypescale (default value is 1.000). By hitting Ctrl+1
and seeing the properties docker popping up.

I have had this problem before, and note that 3D polylines will not generate a linetype, and also in the properties docker there is a drop down for linetype generation. When it says no, your linetypes are not shown. When it says yes, they are.

You could also load linetypes w/ LINETYPE command.

I think the optimum answer to loading often used linetypes as well as often used layers is to make a template file (one for metric & one for imperial) with several layers & the most common linetypes already loaded. That way when you create a new drawing, you can just load template,dwg & start drawing.

Layers:
Object
Center
Dimension
Construction
Title_Block
Hidden


Linetypes:
Center
Hidden
Continuous (Pre-loaded)
Or any other linetypes you use in the majority of your drawings.

how do i plot multiple dwgs or layouts at once.

either publish or use sheet set manager, make sure you have page setups created with correct plotters first!
