Is there a way to print some drawings one in the side of other in a plotter in SolidWorks?

I think it depends on your Plotter. At my last company, we had a HP DesignJet 800ps, and we were able to use the "paper save" features of the plotter to print more than one drawing on a sheet. I don't think you can nest several SW drawings like you can in AutoCAD though... "The attempt and not the deed confounds us."
 
There's a handy application out there that allows you to print to a PDF file. I would think you could then use Adobe to combine PDFs and stack-up your drawings and then print them as you like.
But you have to compare the cost of wasted paper to the cost of your time spent dinking around with this.
