    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi to all,

    I need Yours help in order to print a multiple drawing into a single dwg file.
    I explain better, If You show the attached files You can see there are more sheet into one model. Every sheets are perfectly distanciated from the others, the question is HOW i can print all the sheet with a unique command?

    P.S. the number of sheet can be increase or decrease depending from the type of drawings

    thanks for the cooperation.

    I would be using paper space one for each of the drawings and then you can use the publish command on all the layouts at once.

    I would set up the layout (paperspace) like suggeseted, then create a pagesetup for your layouts. Then use publish to plot as many layouts as you want at once. Attached is an example with viewports for 8.5x11 paper not to scale, with pagesetups created also

    Definitely create the paperspace layout for each drawing, then create a pagesetup and use publish to plot all your layouts. This works great when you have alot of drawings to plot.

    Yes this works great and we do it all the time at my office. I have setup the plot configurations to drawings and saved them to a publish or batch plot folder so that I can import them every time I need to plot a bunch of drawings.
