Plot to PDF with the DWGtoPDF.pc3 setting and then open the PDF in Acrobat and save as Jpeg.

Yes, I understand that. Are you looking to make it easier to plot to jpg? My process, in my opinion, gives me a better output. "Your mileage my vary", as we say here in the US.

f700es the only thing to be careful of using web jpg is you need to consider the DPI ratio v's sheet size when using it, we have custom sizes like 3500x4900 this is a size in pixels or else your quality will suffer. Basicly take your sheet size plottable area and use 200 dots per inch, DPI, to re work out size (note 25.4 factor for metric) this way if you create say a A3 or 17x11 quality will be good.

 

Here is a TIff similar to JPg to do multiple A1 layouts.

; plot to tiff
(PROMPT ".....PRINTING DRAWING TO TIFF's....")
(SETVAR "PDMODE" 0)

(setq doc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
(vlax-for lay (vla-get-Layouts doc)
 (setq plotabs (cons (vla-get-name lay) plotabs))
)
(setq plottablist (acad_strlsort plotabs))
(setq len (length plottablist))

(setq x 0)
(repeat	len
 (setq name (nth x plottablist))
 (princ name)
 (if (/= name "Model")
   (progn
     (setvar "ctab" name)
     ; **** note 0.127 scale factor for 200 DPI  ****
     (COMMAND "-PLOT"	  "Y"	     ""		"TIFF"
       "COGG A1 6mmoff"	     "LANDSCAPE"	   "N"
       "W"	  "-6,-6"    "807,560"	"1=0.127"  "C"
       "y"
  "TIFF.ctb"
          "Y"
   "N"
   "N"
   "N"
          ""
   "N"
          "Y"
   
      )
   )
 )
 (setq x (+ x 1))
)

(princ)
