drinkamonster Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I have 100+ DWG files that I need to print. The viewports are set to plot "Legacy Hidden" and page setup is set to plot to PDF. When I plot them indivudually they plot correctly, but when I try to use sheet set manager or the batch plot utility, the viewports only plot as 2D wireframe. I tried both AutoCAD 2014 and AutoCAD 2015 and get the same result. Can anyone suggest a solution or a different tool I could use to plot large quantities of DWG files? Quote
rkent Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Just to be clear, when you batch plot you are specifying the same pagesetup and not using the built-in plot to pdf? Quote
BIGAL Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 You could look at scripting 100+ dwgs and using old fashioned -plot command via a lisp, this will work with acad 201+ script open dwg1 (load "myplotpdf") close N open dwg2 (load "myplotpdf") close N http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?69132-Printing-LISP-Help...&highlight=Printing-LISP Quote
drinkamonster Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Here are a few screen shots showing the settings I'm trying to use. In the Page Setup you can see it's set to Shade plot "Legacy Hidden" which matches my viewport's shade plot setting. Quote
