AutoCad :: How To Print Multiple Tiles / Drawings In 1 Shot
Oct 10, 2013
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).

Is 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.

I'm working in Illustrator 6. I've got a large piece that I'd like to print onto several 11x17 sheets. When I select Veiw---Show Print TIling, only one tile appears. I expect there to be enough tiles to cover the entire piece and be numbered for me? Where are they? How do I get them to appear?
Then when I go to Print the tile option in the print dialog is greyed out.
I know I've done this before in earlier versions.

When I am printing from AutoCAD LT 2012, I randomly get this error message every 10 to 15 drawings that I print. Considering that I print 10-15 drawings at one time, I am getting a fatal error every time I print a set. Why? I don't get this error when printing in AutoCAD 2011LT or 2012 Full Version.

I 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.

How possible it is to print drawings using a VBA script. I'm interested in forcing print size and the best fit setting.
Searching for printing/plotting yields more results about saving to dwg/pdf than printing to paper.

I'm trying to print drawings made in autocad that were modified in illustrator, when I go to print the file ends up stoping halfway through the page. This is infrequent, some times files work and sometimes they don't, aswell often times when files don't print correctly, the title blog will appear at the end of the page.

I am trying to write some VBA code to print several drawings present in a folder.
I am not a VBA expert. I wrote some little macros in excel but it is the first one in Autocad.
I have a small code that opens a drawing, counts it, closes it and then loops for other drawings.
I have a code that print a drawing by defining some printing parameters.
Separately, both work. But when I call the second one into the loop, I get a error:
"Run-time error '-2147418111 (800100001)':
Automation error
Call was rejected by callee."
I'm using Windows 7 and Autocad 2012.
See my code below:
Option Explicit
Dim filename As String
Dim filepath As String
Dim full_filename As String
Dim i As Integer
Sub print_trial()
[Code] ......

I'm having some trouble while copying between drawings. I am attempting to merge a number of floor plans which are all saved as seperate drawings into 1 drawing. However whenever I copy the floor plan over to another drawing, some of the lines/objects seem to be displaced.

I am trying to plot multiple drawings all at once. I work with many drawing sizes varies from size A to size E. What would be the best way to plot all drawings to 11 X 17 paper no matter what size the drawings are set to? These drawings are not xref or anything. They all are separated files. I tried using Set Sheet Manager; it will only plot to whatever that size is. I want all drawings to be plotted on 11 X 17. I did some research in the forums here and was not able to find what I was looking for.

Is there a way (either thru Inventor or Vault) of print ALL idw (drawings) files related to an iam (assembly)?
Inventor (and Vault) are capable of creating and managing a BOM of the iam files and would think that it would be reltivly easy to query this bom and "find" all the associated idw files and batch print them. Possibly with the option to select the "levels" to dril down to (All, Top Level, Sub Assemblies within the iam, etc, etc)

I've started having a problem with the Publish command when publishing multiple drawings to PDF.
When I plot a drawing using the plot command, I don't have a problem.
When I publish one drawing using the Publish command it is also fine.
It is only when I try to publish multiple files that the problem occurs- the PDFs are produced, but the it is as if the drawing contents (paper space) has been shifted up by 10mm or so, cutting off the top of the drawing, and creating a larger margin at the bottom of the drawing. I use exactly the same page setup as for the single drawing plot.
There seems to be no setting that would change this, and the fact that publishing a single drawing works suggests that there is some kind of bug. At the moment i have to plot every drawing individually (or get my colleague to do it- it works fine on his machine, same page setup file!)
See attached example.

I have a multi sheet drawing I am creating. My BOM is on the first sheet.
I have noticed that when I place views on my subsequent sheets, the balloons restart from item 1 again. Is there a way to link them to the BOM on sheet 1?

Combining multiple drawings in one go, I have 100 drawings (each has its layout) stored in 100 dwg files. I’m wondering if there is a way to combine them in one dwg file in one go assuming that they don’t overlap.
I need then to edit the title block of all of these layout knowing that this title block is an Xref.

I have multiple cad drawings (300 *dwg's)that need some items changed, is there a way to seach multiple cad drawing in my project for specific instances of text in each drawing?
Do the drawings have to be open? Can you seach just thru the project with out opening each drawing, how does this work?!

I have amended our drawing frame (a block) in our templates so I now have a set of 82 I need to amend the frame in. So is there a easy way of redefining a block in a number of drawings or do I just do each drawing separate ?

I'm weaning myself off of Adobe's PDFMaker and learning how to publish.
I've got everything working but I'm prompted at an Adobe prompt (Save PDF File As...) for every sheet
which is overwhelming when I have multiple drawings with multiple sheets.
I don't know how (or if it is possible) to make it just save to the default name and continue onto the next one.

Is there a way to increase the access time so printing is faster?
I have AutoCAD 2013 and access drawings over VPN (6 meg pipe).
Both opening the drawings and especially printing them take a very long time.
It takes about 8 seconds to open drawings, due to all the modules loading on the bottom-left of AutoCAD. Printing takes even longer than opening the drawings.
Is there a setting I can change to speed-up access time?

I recently joined a firm that has been working drawings up in meters in model space
The issue comes that when i go to input a scale at the viewport stage the drawing is tiny. Ive always worked in mm and thus never had this issue when using the standard 'z' enter 's' enter 1/##xp' to achieve the desired scale
i would like to understand how i can still work these drawings without scaling everything up in model space at a factor of 1000, which is the only way i can think of getting round this issue.
