I asked a question in another thread
http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41644 Since I'm changing topics a bit I thought I better make it a separate thread altogether.. Question 1: I want to plot EVERY LAYOUT in a DWG. I may have 1 I may have 20. How do I page through them all? Let me clarify here, I want to be able to change the printer/page setup on all layouts in a lisp file. Sometimes I do not plot Model Space but only the Layouts.. (2) I sometimes need to change printers and I'd like to have a routine for this. Problem is they each have Path Names and some have spaces. I don't know how to pass a name such as "\\MyServer\MyPrinter PCL" The names are giving me problems. Renaming is NOT an option (Corporate thingie!) Thanks in advance! You guys are awesome!!

I think publish is the answer. You might want to consider using sheet set too.

Try with thea ttached zip file.
It's an application I write some time ago. It's designed to plot diferent dwg files to dwf files and pdf files. It plots the current paperspace, but it can be modified to plot any number of parperspace layouts and modelspace. It is a perform a "brute force attack" plot... so, be patient Fell free of change it as you want or need. If you have any question let me know. Notice you must install or create a "DWF classic.pc3" file. |
