AutoCad :: Plotting Multiple DWG Files To Multiple PDFs Automatically

Jan 31, 2013

I'm trying to find a way to plot multiple (over a thousand) DWG files to PDF without doing each one manually. I've played around a little bit but without any luck. I'm using AutoCAD 2002 LT. Is there any way to do this?

I've also got little to no experience with the more complex settings and abilities of autocad so do so in laymans terms.

2002 lt has no general publish (only publish to web) option and how sheet sets work.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Batch Plot To PDFs (Multiple Tabs / Multiple Files)

Jun 4, 2012

I am trying to batch plot to PDF's from a drawing file that has multiple tabs in it.  I would like each tab to be a separate PDF file.  We are utilizing Acrobat X to write the PDF's.  AutoCAD places all of the tabs into one file whether I tell a Multi-sheet file or a Single-sheet file.

AutoCad :: Attempting To Publishing Multiple DWG Files To Individual PDFs?

Sep 19, 2011

I'm using AutoCAD Mech 2008. is there a way to publish multiple dwg files to individual pdf's.

Right now I typically plot to Adobe PDF, extents/center to plot/fit to paper/monochrome.

Upon doing a search, someone mentioned "AutoPublish" upon closing. Is this an option, and if so, is it my only option?

AutoCad :: Plotting From Single Layout Into Multiple Files?

Dec 17, 2012

I have floorplans from a building with a total of 80 appartments. Now i want to plot PDFs in A3 format, each page with 1 appartment. That would be 80 pages/PDF-files.

The way i did it up to now was i have put all A3 pages in a single layout and used the Window-function in the Plot dialog to print each page individually, manually numbering the file-names, and combining files in Acrobat as needed.

But doing this for 80 pages is too much - especially because i will likely have to plot it more often in the future. As far as i can see, i could make 80 layouts and use the Publish function, make a sheet-list and plot that way.

I keep wondering - is there not a more efficient solution to this problem than creating 80 layouts? There must be a more intelligent solution to this. Whats the preferred way of doing this?

P.S. i use AutoCAD2007 and Acrobat for plotting.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Editing Multiple-page PDFs

Jul 3, 2012

If I open a 4-page PDF in CorelDraw, I can edit anything in it. But if I save my changes, it saves as a 4-page cdr file. But I want to save the changes to the PDF. Is the only way to save the changes to the pdf file to re-publish the whole 4 pages to PDF again and have it replace the old one when asked? Wouldn't this further compress any jpgs?

Re-publishing the whole thing and changing the settings to no compression (and remembering to reset them back again later!) seems very inefficient......The question, of course applies to single page pdf's as well, but I'm thinking of deleting or adding a page or changing page order.

Illustrator :: Saving / Exporting Multiple Artboards To Separate PDFs In CS5

Jul 7, 2010

In Adobe Illustrator CS5, you now have the capability give a name to each artboard in your illustrator file. I understand that you can easily save each artboard as separate AI files but I would like to save them as separate PDFs instead.
 
Any script, or know the actual method of doing so? All I can possibly theorize is to save the artboards as separate PDFs and then have Acrobat convert those artboards to PDFs.

AutoCad :: Batch / Multiple Plotting

Aug 12, 2008

If there was a way to plot multiple dwg files in a single go all using the same plot settings. Is it possible to do this in AutoCad without having to use another program? I am using AutoCad 2009 LT by the way.

Also, is there a way to save a certain plot setup as the default so that I don't have to switch my page setup to <previous plot> every time I open a new drawing?

AutoCad :: Multiple Plotting Of Different Sheets In 1 Drawing

Nov 8, 2012

In my company they draw out multiple pages of construction drawings in 1 file. They do all their sketching off to the side and then bring the finish detail onto the sheet that will be plotted out later.

They then start a new sheet below it and continue onward until they have 20 plus drawings in one DWG file.

What I want to do is print each drawing individually to whatever plotter or printer I set up. I can't batch file as I understand it because there are so many pages of a print in 1 drawing. Because all the DWG file has multiple pages I have to go thru several windows to get each page plotted out.

Is there a script or batch file that I can use that I can set up the plot and then for example highlight the page I want to send to the printer then go to the next print, highlight it and it gets sent to the printer without having to set up the plot again?

We use Autocad 2000 so I am working with a basic set up here without a lot of frills the later versions have. I am trying to get them to seperate the pages but that isn't working for the earlier drawings they have done.

AutoCad :: Plotting With Layer States / STBs And Multiple XRefs

Sep 26, 2012

I am working on a massive project with many x-refs. We are using an STB, along with layer states for line weights. We are plotting from a sheet file, where our, and consultants' drawings, are x-reffed in.

If we apply the layer state in the SHEET file, we will need to know all layers of our consultants. If we apply the layer state in the MODEL file, we will need vis-retain set to 0, and therefore we will need to redefine all of the layers of the x-ref to print grey every time we plot.

Can you apply plot styles around different sheets more efficiently?

Can you set an STB to look at the prefix of layers (ie. every layer starting with XXX, or every layer from a certain x-ref) be a certain plot style (ie. 60% grey)?

AutoCad :: Plotting From PDFs

Jun 16, 2008

I figure many of you do as I do, drawing things to plot blueprints. It just so happens that I'm often sent PDFs of drawings to plot, but for some reason I have trouble with them.

Suppose I have a standard drawing that is meant for a 24x36 Arch D sheet size. It will always plot 36" because it has to, that is the paper width of the roll. But for some reason, it will stop shy of 24" and cut the paper as much as 4 or 6 inches short, instead of printing the full 24".

The drawing inside the PDF is exactly right, the Adobe Acrobat Reader shows the drawing fine, it fits within the margins, it's not scaled, the sheet size is shown accurately. Based on the visuals and settings, all things are great. I've got the paper set to 36" roll, opaque bond, no scaling because I need it to print accurately.

However, when it prints, some of the drawing is cut off at the bottom and at the top, and instead of 24" it cuts the paper at 18 or 20". I don't get it. It shows 24" in the print wizard, the correct paper size is shown, the preview images looks great. All things check OK, and then it prints and cuts off the graphic and makes a short sheet.

I'm afraid to try scale to 100% or scale to sheet size, because the people who have to use this need to scale it on paper with a ruler and I can't have it stretching or shrinking the print.

What gives with Acrobat printing? Need to plot PDFs accurately? It would be one thing to simply cut the sheet where the graphic ends, but this is actually stopping shy of printing the graphic altogether and cutting the sheet early before it reaches 24".

AutoCAD Inventor :: Plotting Individual IDW Sheets From Vault To PDFs

Feb 13, 2013

I would like to use the plot function to generate 3 individual PDFs from a 3-sheet idw in Vault.Requirements:

1. Each PDF needs to be named after a certain field that is already populated in iProperties

2. All PDFs need to be output to a fixed folder in Vault

I have tried some iLogic codes and indeed it is possible to do that from within Inventor.  But should we need to print a large number of idws that will be a nightmare for me.

AutoCad :: Plugin To Allow Batch Plotting Of PDFs From Multi-sheet Drawings

Jun 17, 2011

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro which has a plugin to allow batch plotting of PDFs from multi-sheet drawings. Works awesome in Autocad 2009 and before. It DOES NOT work with Autocad 2011!

We have drawings with 70 sheets and it's nice to print the entire document to a single PDF in one step. Takes less than one minute in Acad09. Nice!

AutoCAD Inventor :: Autodrop Multiple Nuts After Autodropping Multiple Washers

Jan 26, 2012

(Inv Pro 2012, XP64, Vaulted Project and Content Center)When I'm placing hardware, the Autodrop function is really convenient.  Even better when the "multiple" pickbox is active, which from what I understand is when Inventor finds similar features on the same plane that the selected autodrop component could potentially mate to.

This is a huge time-saver, since I often have lots of bolted joints that all terminate on the same plane.  Sometimes however, even when the parts lie in the same "plane", the plane isn't contiguous in that a feature breaks it across.  No biggie, it just means I have to do two or three "multi-autodrops".

Once I put washers at the back side of the connections (which multiple works like a charm on), all of a sudden when I go to place nuts, each washer surface is now it's own plane, and multi-drop no longer recognizes all the other parts.  This can be a real pain manually placing 30 or 40 nuts at a time.

I think the "Bolted Connection" option might work, but I really don't have a need to store all those subassemblies, name them, keep them vaulted properly, etc.   That would be almost as much of a headache.

Also, most of the features that I'm connecting through are created as Hole features and as "nominal" oversized bolt holes as Inventor suggests when the "clearance hole" option is used for hole creation (not randomly extruded islands), but they aren't patterned as they don't follow a prescribed circular or rectangular pattern.

Am I missing something that I can do (like something stupid simple such as holding down the "alt" key or some crazy thing like that) that will allow inventor not just to suggest CONTIGUOUS planar features, but also CO-planar features so I can place all these nuts at once?

Short of creating a custom Content center part that consists of a nut / washer assembly I can't think of anything.  And creating and publishing the nut washer assemblies will eat up some time too, since I have about 50 different combinations (some SAE washers with normal hex nuts, some SAE washers with ESNA hex, some USS washers with jam nuts, some USS Type B washers with all-steel locknuts, etc...)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Part File With Multiple Instances Of Multiple Solids?

Apr 18, 2013

I'm designing a part that in Autodesk Inventor 2013 that is constructed from several layers laminated together. I have 4 layers:

F (front)

M1 (middle, variation one)

M2 (middle, variation two)

B (back)

The final solid will lhave 17 layers laid out like this:

F | M1 | M2 | M1 | M2 | M1 | M2 ... | B

I currently have a part file containing

F | M1 | M2

What's the best way to create this solid if I want to a) keep all instances of M1 and M2 in sync, and b) make it easy to work on all 4 layers. Do I have to export F, M1, M2, and B as individual parts and import them into an assembly or can I keep them in one part file? I really like the ability to be able to work on all the solids at the same time because they're visually dependant on each other.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Sample Multiple Surfaces For Multiple Alignments

May 18, 2012

I need to figure out a way to sample multiple surfaces for multiple alignments.

Example 1: I am creating cross sections for a river dredge showing the pre-dredge bathymetry, design dredge elevation, and post-dredge bathymetry results. I have 100's of alignments that I need to sample 3 surfaces and display in profile view. Due to the clients requirements for display, using the cross section tools don't work for me, so I have resorted to using a seperate alignment for each cross section.

Example 2: Working in a subdivision with many utility alignments it would save quite a bit of time to be able to choose a group of alignments and sample multiple surfaces in just a few clicks.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Styling Multiple Shp Files

Feb 18, 2013

I have a large batch of OS data covering the housing stock of a housing association which I'd like to break down into 81seperate local area maps. There are 162 of these files and each of the local area maps covers 3 or so of the shp files. I'd like to style each map the same.

So I go into the style manager for one of the loaded shape files and create a simple style.

rule 1 DESCGRP = "Road" Style: none
rule 2 Default = thin black polygon.

I'd like some way fo doing this automatically or simply. Because doing it 162 times with all the shp files loaded is majorly time consuming and at soem point I'd like to be able to use more complex styles. Is there any easy way of doing this?

I also have all the shp files as gz files if that would make life easier and as lines rather than polygons.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Querying Multiple SDF Files At Once?

Apr 11, 2011

I have two SDF files, one is a fiber layer (ie Lines representing where fiber optic cable is located).  The second SDF file is the vendor layer (ie Buffer area that represent the right-of-way ownership of the fiber/ie railroad or public).  I want to use the second SDF file to query the first SDF file.  For example I want to use the vendor layer to select all fiber that is on railroad right-of-way.  I have no problem quering single SDF files, but I figure in AutoCAD there has to be a way to accomplish this task.

AutoCad :: Publish DWG To Multiple PDF Or DWF Files?

Apr 15, 2013

I have a client that needs me to deliver my drawings in PDF format as multiple files with a specific naming convention. What I am doing is publishing to multiple files then renaming each file individually which is time consuming and prone to error.

I was hoping to come up with a way to automate the process.

Here's what I have: Each layout contains a title block block, lets call it "tblock". Within this block there are attributes for drawing title, sheet number etc, lets call these attributes "dt", "sn" respectively. Each layout also contains an Xref which contains a block which has attributes for revision data such as date, revision, issue description etc Lets call the xref "XA1", the block "Xtblock" and the attribute I need "Xrev". In visual basic it might look something like XA1.Xtblock.Xrev

Here's what I need: export each layout as {sn} {dt} Rev {Xrev}.pdf

Now I have used VB to automate Excel tasks and create Database applications so I would describe myself as "handy", just not used VB within Autocad before. I have also not used LISP before either so I'm a bit of a layman in that respect.
