multitab plotting

[Barry Clark]

When I receive a job with multiple tabs that I need to plot. I would love to use the multitab plotting option but, unless I set each tab up ahead of time, the plots come out oriented incorrectly.

Of course, I can't set some of the parameters this way as many of the options are unavailable or grayed.

Any thoughts? Something I missed?

I do multi-tab plotting and I just select tabs using Shift and/or Ctrl keys for plotting. But before I plot, I make sure every tab's setup is ok. No problem so far.

Yeah. That is what I am trying to avoid. It isn't so bad until you get a drawing from another office that uses a different plotter. Sorta blows that way.

Oh well.

I plot multiple drawings with multipletabs at the same time. Im curently on 05 and use Publish to plot files this way. After i select all the files i want ploted i highlight all of them and right click then their is an option for you to "change page setup" then i load a templete that i have set up, and done. Know matter what the setting for ploting were b 4 they will plot with publish with what ever page setup i select. Through publish you can select to have model ploted or paper ploted and when you have paper selected it will plot all the paper tabs you have on the file. Dont know what version your on but hope that helped.
