Lisp and Publish

Hi,

I need to publish PDF of a bunch of files

They have different sizes of paper.

I try to make a .Scr but I still need to indicate a lot of informations in my -publish (size of paper, printer...)

I am looking for a way to say to my autocad:

publish all the layouts with the defaut configuration, use the defaut configuration in the files and publish everything here : c:\temps (for example).

By defaut, my files have, , the layout with the good printer and the good size of

paper.

Can you indicate me a way to find the solution?

Is it possible?

Why not just set the appropriate named Page Setup as active for all of your Layouts, using DWG to PDF print driver, and then invoke the PUBLISH Command?

If you need to quickly set page setups as active for multiple Layouts in a batch process, this old post should help; example:

 

(foreach layoutname (layoutlist)
 (vla-SetActivePageSetup layoutname “[color="red"]YourPageSetupName[/color]”)
)

 

Here is another suggestion http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?84430-Move-layout-Rename-layouts-Goto-layout just go to the "plot layout range" code and you can make various plot options with different names or modify code to ask for plotter and paper size pretty easy.
