I created the following to print autocad files. My only problem is that it won't work on a layout that has not been initialized. When this code switches to an un-initialized layout the page setup dialog appears.
Unfortunatly, all the plot properties of the layout don't appear any different from an initialized layout. So you can't tell via properties if the layout is initialized.
Does anyone know a way to tell if a layout is not initialized? I'll just skip those in the case that the user picks "ALL" layouts.
