How to export Model to Layouts 1

[dasaf]

I have a model in autocad 2004 that has over 70pages. to print them on my laser printer I make layout from every page and that I print the layout. Is there any shorter way to print all pages from the model, or to export all of them in .pdf .jpg or something...
Thanks

Have you tried Publish in AutoCAD?

dasaf,

do you have 70 layouts now? There're some ways to plot them, if you have used the command "_PAGESETUP".
Then You can use the publish command.
Or you can click on all Layouts with the UPPERCASE-KEY (-what's the right word in english?-) and then open the plotdialog...
Maybe there's a lisp in the

that.

If you have the pages only in the modelspace, I wouldn't know any way. Maybe an expert can tinker a tool...?

Yes, I have more than 70 pages on only one model. I tried Publish in Autocad but some errors appeared. Is there someone who can help, please!

I would not use the word publish for drawings to be plotted
on your laser printer. Correct terminology s/b printed or plotted.

Assuming that you have done page setups for all layouts, pick all layouts by pressing the control key, then you will be able to plot each layout, continuously, one after the other one using the "plot" command under the file pull down menu.

When you access the plot dialogue box, only one folder "plot device" will be presented ,then select the appropriate choices under "plotter configuration" and "what to plot", then OK.

Test a three or four layouts at first.
