Multiple file Printing?

I was wondering is there a way to print multiple files?
Occasionally I have to reprint electrical drawings from a CD for the maintenance guys. It is very tedious having to open each drawing, click "yes - I want to open it even if it is a read only", click "plot", select printer, etc, etc, etc. I am running Autocad 2007.

Also, the "properties" selection is missing from my right click menu, I have tried to find out how to add it but either that is not possible or I cannot find how to do it. Any help here too?

Thanks,

Steve

Investigate using the Publish command.

We are working with pdf files as plot plot files. It's working great!

drile007 has a good point. It doesn't solve your current dilemma, but if you start keeping a folder of PDFs with the archived DWGs, you have a great record of what was sent out, as well as a way to easily reproduce those drawings.

Regarding your current situation, the publish command may help, but it was my impression it was for open files.
 
Like lpseifert mentioned, use the publish command. It will open a window, where you select the files you want to print. It is pretty easy, I use it all the time.
