Create a Muli-Page PLT File

[aalterio]

I am using AutoCAD2014 Electrical and am trying to plot a project(26 sheets) to a multi-page PLT file.  I have performed the following, which resulted in 26 individual PLT files:

1) Right click on Project in Project Manager

2) Select Publish ---> Plot Project

3) "Select Drawings to Publish"  Select all drawings and press OK 

4) "Batch Plotting Options and Order" Under PLT file, select "Yes: plot too="

5) Select OK to plot

I cannot seem to find an option to print the sheets in a single file, can anyone give me some pointers on how to do this.  Thank you.

I've never known of an option to plot to a multi-sheet plt file.  That might be odd for a plotter to read from.  You can plot to a multisheet PDF, DWF, or DWFx file with version 2015.  You can even check an option box to embed hyperlinks in the PDF file so it can be surfed.  But again this is new for 2015.  

In version 2014 you can export a multi-sheet PDF but it takes a few extra steps and doesn't include hyperlinks.  You select to Publish to DWF, select the drawings to publish and click OK.  Next, click the drop-down arrow next to DWF and switch to PDF.
