AutoCAD LT :: How To Print Multiple Layouts
Aug 20, 2010How do I print multiple layouts at once in the same file, like a batch print so i don't have to individually print each layout?

View 6 RepliesOkay, so I have about 25 layouts on this particular drawing that already have a default page setup assigned to them. I just created a new page setup and want to apply it to these layouts...but I cannot. I can select the right setup in the publish window but it does not stay current after publishing.
The problem also comes up if I do a "-purge" or wblock the entire drawing as to remove weird elements. The pagesetups then show as missing.
If I create a new drawing and setup the page setup for the first time AutoCAD will ask if I would like to apply to all layouts. Where is this option for existing drawings?
I used to use a really nice VBA routine for assigning a page setup to multiple layouts, but now I need something that will work for 2011 and up.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the drawings, which has 64 layouts each. I want to move the multiple layouts to one dwg (means one drawing should have 128 multiple layouts with in) At this that two drawings having layout only, i deleted all object in model space, model space would be the same for that two drawings, after i made the combined dwg. I tired to move the layout by using drag and drop on design center, It was not done. the autocad shows the message was fatal error: out of memory.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to import a a custom titleblock into each existing layout from a dwg. So far, i've been successful in importing this block into the first layout but can't seem to figure how to bring it into the remaining. I have a command that runs before this one that allows the user to define how many layouts should exist, so for instance, if a user opts to create 7 layouts, once they import this titleblock, i'd like it to appear in all 7 layouts. So far this is what i've got.

I seem to be having an issue publishing multiple layouts into a single PDF.
All the layouts are setup to plot to 'Adobe PDF' and in the Publish options I have set 'Publish to: Plotter named in page setup' as well as 'Multi-sheet file'. When I click OK I'm prompted for the filename for each layout and have to save them as separate files.
The only time it does work is when I choose 'Publish to: PDF' which I guess uses AutoCAD's internal 'DWG to PDF' method. Is my preferred method an Adobe issue or is it fixable through AutoCAD?

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen I publish multiple layouts to a single pdf. When I publish all the files at one time the right side of the drawing where the title block is cut off about an inch and does not show the complete title block. Publishing to a printer as a multiple batch or publishing the layouts one at a time to pdf does not exhibit this problem.

I am in the process of generating a separate package which is a suppliment to the main package for a project. The sheets from the suppliment will be incorporated into the main project, but many sheets from the main project will not be included in the suppliment.
My thought was to make a separate sheet set that shares layouts with the main set which I was able to do by making a copy and renaming the .DST file. Now I see that supposedly a single layout cannot exist in two sheet sets. I ended up working around this by creating a sheet in SSM with the same # and Name in each Sheet Set and was able to get them to appear in both. Want to find out if I'm creating a landmine of a problem down the road or if there is a better way to do what I'm doing. In the past, I beleive we simply selectively printed only the appropriate sheets but on that project it was cumbersome and at the scale of this project it will be worse.
I've been working on this code for a bit now and I've got a Windows Form with a numeric up down box which is designed to determine how many Layouts (PaperSpace) that a user would like generated.
I've got the form to pass the value as to the function as an argument but an not sure how to get the function to automatically generate "x" amount of Layouts based on the value of "int x". Right now i've just got a few "if" statements controlling the system, but i'm looking for a more elegant solution than a sea of "if" statements.
namespace CHPaperSpace
{
public class PaperSpace
{
[Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.CommandMethod("CHPAPERSPACE")]
// This will be the function associated with my command
public void CHPAPERSPACECOMMAND(int x)

how to take multiple A3 Layouts, and instead of having to plot and select each layout, can I select all the layouts and have them Pdf into one document.
I have had a look at publish and tried to do it, but they are still printing as individual sheets. What exactly does the term "sheet sets" mean. Is this what I am trying to achieve or is this a different action?
Any routine to re-size viewports in multiple layouts? We have to re-size viewports as they were created a little too small and are now spread across almost 1000 drawings in 18 dwg.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a csv file that has the drawing names and their layout names listed in columns A and B. Before I begin a project, I have to create the Sheet List (in Excel) and the csv file. The csv file is needed because I have a lisp routine that reads the csv and updates all my Title Block attributes in all my drawings. (VERY sweet program) What I'm wanting to do, is create new layouts (using my dwt) based on the information in the csv file. So, when I start a new project all I need to do is create the base drawing files first. Then, in my csv file I've got those drawing names listed in Column A and their corresponding sheet titles (Layout names) in Column B. I run the lisp and it reads the csv and creates layouts in all those base drawings and naming the layouts with the sheet titles from column B.
Column A Column B
DRAWINGS SHEET TITLES
drawing1.dwg A100
drawing1.dwg A101
drawing"n".dwg "n"500
Etc, etc.
I'm needing a way to automate creating hundreds of layouts at once. (very time consuming).So the lisp has to be able to read a csv (or Excel--doesn't really matter) and create new layouts (using my dwt) in as many drawing files represented in column A. [and filtered so it doesn't create duplicates so I can run the routine at a later date when new sheets are added to the drawings] Captcha?
Is there any way of applying a new page setup to all the layouts at once?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have multiple layout pages (58 pages) and would like to print them in a printer at once. How do I do that?
Currently, I open 1 layout at a time then print it 1 by 1, in which its killing me specially if I do have lots of drawings.
Publish does saving in DWF, PDF... But does not print in the printer.
I have one layout. On that layout I want to have 2 viewports. I also have ssay block A and block B I want to insert.I would like Viewport1 to display block A and viewport 2 to display block B.
What happens to me is when I created Viewport 1 and inserted block A. I go on to create viewport 2. But viewport 2 displays only block A, which I cannon delete to insert block B.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs is possible to "que" a bunch of drawings to be plotted? I would like to be able to open a drawing and plot it, then while it's plotting, open another drawing and plot it, then another and so on and so on. However, I get an error message stating that another plot is in process and only one plot or publish process can be active at one time. Thus, I'm forced to wait for the last one to complete before sending the next one to the plotter.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to print multiple drawing in a single layout (see picture) . It is possible in autocad to setup printing once? For example: One project contains 100 A3 drawing, one layout contains 20 A3 drawing. Up to now, i print to pdf separately, and i combined the 100 pdf in one file.
And i print from this file. (only in this way succeed to print collating multiple copies). But if the project changes, I could start all over again. Is there a solution to publish an combining the sheets to print immediately?
As part of a study project, I have to describe the steps of assembly of a product (a car within a factory) with a series of drawings.
I've drawn them in the model tab, having each step of the assembly in a separate "tile".
My problem is that when I want to print these drawings in a pdf file, it takes me ages because I have to select and print each drawing separately (plot, select window, print for 40 drawings is very long).
How to be able to print these in a more "automated" process ? I've tried to put them in "layout" but I cannot manage to adjust the drawing to the print zone, on the page (like what you would do when selecting the window before printing with the "adjust to the page" option).
The scaling is not a big deal at this step, as long as all drawings have the same scale (all tiles have the same dimensions).
I'm trying to plot a lot of drawing files that are in model space. We use to do this with batch plot. Is there still a way to do this in 2009.

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to create page setups for multiple printers in a network environment?
Here is the problem:
We have 2 offices with 3-7 printers per office and each printer with different capabilities (black and white, color, 11x17, wide format, etc.). I have CAD users who know little about setting up layouts so I want to create preconfigured layouts that they can import from a template via Design Center or other means.
I know I could set up a layout for each printer, page size, plot scale, and plot style table, but that gets to be so many layout permutations that it becomes overwhelming to manage and use. Up until now I had set up PC3 files for a few commonly used printers (wide format plotter, laser, pdf) and gave them generic names with the intent that I could simply direct the output to any printer by assigning it to one of the generic PC3 files. The problem I've encountered is that over time we've acquired new printers and old printers sometimes go offline or out of service and many of the printers have incompatible printable areas and page sizes to each other, so for example a page setup that calls for an 11x17 sheet for one printer does not have an equivalent size when a different printer is assigned to the layout.
Are we stuck with having to configure setups for each and every printer and permutation?
