My company currently uses a stamp, not plot stamp but actual stamp, to denote what stage a drawing is at when printed. I have used the AutoCAD plot stamp to add this stamp automatically in the past and management liked how it looked and asked if I could do a version for each of our drawing processes so we can automate this process to avoid using the actual stamp, which adds a lot of time to the printing process honestly.
So my question,
I am AutoCAD savvy enough to make this happen without a hitch, however the users I need to teach this process to are not. Is there a way I can write a script or LISP to perform this task?
The task I am performing currently - In the steps I do it:
1) Plot
3) Plot Stamp Settings...
4) Deselect ALL Plot Stamp Fields
5) Add User Defined Fields - This varies based on the drawing process
6) OK
7) Set up printing setting then plot/publish
Now you may be asking if I have to do this each time I plot/publish... The answer is no. I only rarely actually do this however, like I mentioned above, management seems to want to do this more often. So I need to simplify this process.
I could write a LISP to change the PlotStamp settings then set up the Plot and go, but that's per drawing and I need it more for publish and I do not want to write a publish LISP as AutoCAD already has it and I don't re-invent the wheel.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated...
