Pukenzz Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 We recently got a new plotter Cannon TX-3000 When plotting I can plot a single layout tab and choose multiple qtys – success When publishing multiple tabs I can choose (1) qty and plot with success When publishing multiple tabs it will let me choose multiple qty but it errors out and will not send successfully It worked fine on our old plotter but not now with this new plotter IT has work arounds, Cannon rep has work arounds, but I’m looking for a solution Has anybody run into this and can you share your fix?

ammobake Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 What is the error message you're getting? Is the error associated with the PC3 file for that printer? Also, are you using 1 page setup for all your sheets or does the page setup vary by sheet/tab? -ChrIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I went away from publish and do a plot range of layouts lisp, it could have how many added but would plot sets, one after the other. Like ammobake it works for one size title block only. Happy to post a revamped version, need your title block in a dwg or limits x,y as it uses window for the selection area.

Pukenzz Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 WARNING: Incompatible or missing plot style ERROR: Error Not sure how to identify if the error is associated with that PC 3 but when I publish qty (1) it works fine Yes it will be the same page setup for all sheets BIGAL... Would you be willing to share your lisp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Not a problem will post soon will add some comments about what to change for your plotter. ; Plotter name, paper size and ctb need to be changed ; lower left co-ords and upper right need to be changed ; set to a A1 sheet title block 1:1 ie approx 840x594 (COMMAND "-PLOT" "Y" "" "\\\\yourserver\\your printer" "A1" "m" "LANDSCAPE" "N" "W" "-6,-6" "807,560" "1=1" "C" "y" "Designlaser.ctb" "Y" "N" "N" "N" "N" "N" "y" ) Plot-Range-plotter.LSP Multi GETVALS.lsp Edited May 3, 2019 by BIGAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pukenzz Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I tweaked your lisp as noted and attempted to run. I'm getting the following error... ; error: no function definition: AH:GETVALSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Sorry you will need this its a library dcl routine can use in any lisp Multi GETVALS.lsp Edited May 3, 2019 by BIGAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pukenzz Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Works great. But I'm a little confused... Run it from a button or keyboard, what is the command? It looks like AH or pltlays but neither runs the plot for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukenzz Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Thanks maratovich. Looks pretty powerful. Unfortunately, I have guys that struggle to use and understand the batch plot, general layer usage, what plot styles do, etc. This KDM software will be way too complex for them and my company will likely push back on spending $. I was hoping to understand how to run the Plot-range-plotter.lsp with a defun C entry so I can just attach it to the macro of a custom button and click button... poof, it plots.

BIGAL Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) I run it as a menu option, [Plot - plotter]^c^c^p(load "Plot-range-plotter") it will autorun as the last line calls the program. (AH:pltlays) same for a toolbar icon etc. Please note as it uses a window you will need to change the window co-ords to match your title block, -6,-6 807,560 and it must have your plotter name and ctb etc. I do have a move all titles to 0,0 if you need it. Any probs just ask here. Edited May 3, 2019 by BIGAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
