paperspace dwg to pdf using TrueView and third party pdf converter

[Anonymous]

Background: I am implementing a new document control software to help manage all of our operation instructions that are written in AutoCAD. The intent is that the dwg format is managed by the doc control software and when the drawing is approved it gets converted automatically to pdf for our shop floor to view. This would eliminate the human error aspect that Engineering hates to admit to of manually trying to manage the different revisions of a file, as well as streamlining the process of converting to pdf and making the new revision available to the shop while removing the old revision. The document control software is using TrueView and Neevia to do the pdf conversion behind the scenes. I also have DesignReview installed and available for the software to use.

Problem: One site is putting the model in the modelspace and the titleblock and associated text in paperspace. When this gets converted to pdf I only get what is in the modelspace. It would appear that since the modelspace is the first tab that opens, this is what gets converted to pdf. How do I get the paperspace to bet the default view that gets converted to pdf? Keep in mind that we have over 18,000 documents per site that are being managed, so a one-by-one solution is not much of an option.

Your post is kind of 'fluffy' and has not details: What's the method of conversion to PDF exactly? plot, publish, something else? and then does it try to look for and load a layout or just grab and plot first available open image and hope it got it right?

OR is this just a cad management issue: One Site, unlike all your Other Sites, is not following company standards/protocols and you are trying to find a back-of-office fix instead of enforcing company-wide standards?
