Plotting multiple named views.

[tomol]

Hi,

I have some drawings which have been arranged with multiple named views. Is there any way to batch plot multiple named views in a drawing?

Thanks,

Tom

In our company, we want our purchasing agent to be able to print out our drawings without needing autocad. You can use the same approach.

Print (to a file) each of the views. Name each file differently.

To print out these "PLT" files, use this batch command

COPY /B FILE1.PLT LPT1

On a network, you will need to map your printer to your LPT port:
NET USE LPT //SERVERNAME/PRINTERNAME

Or, you can use Adobe Distiller to turn your plt files into PDFs. To do this, rename the PLT files to PS.

Or, you can associate PLTs to Distiller. Then if you double click on a PLT file, a PDF is automatically created.

We use this approach for all our drawings. It makes it real easy to batch plot.
