Batch Printing In One Drawing Page?

[tolkien]

I have a page where there are several areas to print one by one. These areas are in specificly sized rectangles. Say it 100 rectangles(500x1000) like that. To print them all, in the plot menu i have to click window then select the required rectangle then click print. I have to do this 100 times. Is there a way, maybe an autolisp code, to print them altogether by the given rectangle size or ranges. Publish command doesn't work as it is only one drawing page.

AutoLisp is not available in AutoCAD Light. Are you plotting individual windows from modelspace? This is a very time consuming way to print that many pages. 100?

 

AutoCAD LT or full version is designed so that you can build a layout tab for each separate page you plot. Each of those layouts will have a viewport (or multiple viewports) back into model space showing only the portion(s) of the drawing you wish to be on that page.

 

If you already have a drawing border line and title block set up (if you need one), it should only take about 5 minutes to set up one layout tab. (times 100.)

 

Once the layouts are defined, you may plot them out in any order, one at a time, or publish them all at once, as you need.
