netman Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I have 8 separate drawings on one template. I would like to put them into one file, using the FOXIT PDF that comes with ACLT 12, as individual sheets. Is there an easier way to do this besides copy and save each drawing to a separate file? Thank you. Quote
ReMark Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 There are a couple of lisp routines that would handle the task but that doesn't do you any good because LT does not recognize lisp only full AutoCAD does. Quote
BIGAL Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Not sure here you want 1 pdf but with 8 pages ? Is publish supported in LT ? You can plot individual pdf's and the join them back into one if you have Adobe Acrobat or one of the other pdf generators. Quote

Using the Output tab >> batch plot, or publish, you can construct a sheet list from multiple drawings by clicking the ADD SHEETS list again for each drawing. You will have to make sure your publish OPTIONS are set up the way you want your layouts to be plotted first. Another thing, you will have to go through the list and remove the items that end in 'model' unless you want to print a page for modelspace too. To remove a sheet, select the sheet, right click, then select remove, and poof. Whether you are using Batch Plot or Publish, you still have to click the "Publish" button. Quote
