We use script routines for all our printing. Is there a way of selecting all of the layouts on a drawing using script so that they can be printed.
Thanks in advance.

Isn't there a check box in the plot dialog to plot
all layouts?
all layouts?

That doesn't help when you are using a script. Script files are all
command line.

John:
How about just copying and pasting the whole mess
to the end of the file and changing the Layout part of the script for each
layout. I do that in my sets since it seems every sheet requires some
goofy personal set up items.

Or, could one select more than one layout in that

Possible strategy
1. Make sure prior to plotting that you have used pagesetup on each
layout to get the settings right. This simplifies each plot task.
layout to get the settings right. This simplifies each plot task.
2. Have the script call the following function
;Function to plot all tabs in a drawing
;To work correctly, each tab
must have had PAGESETUP performed prior to
;calling plotalltab
;To plot
all layouts including model space (plotalltab t)
;To plot just paperspace
layouts (plotall nil)
;To work correctly, each tab
must have had PAGESETUP performed prior to
;calling plotalltab
;To plot
all layouts including model space (plotalltab t)
;To plot just paperspace
layouts (plotall nil)
(defun plotalltab ( model / n l) ;DC Broad 6-20-01 For A2K
(setq l (layoutlist))
(setq l (if model (cons "model" l) l))
(foreach n l
(command "-plot" "yes" n )
;and adapting some code posted earlier today to allow for a variable number of
returns
(while (= (logand (getvar "CMDACTIVE") 1)
1)
(command "") ;pagesetup must have been performed
or this is pot luck.
) ;_ end while
);end foreach
);end
plotalltab
(setq l (layoutlist))
(setq l (if model (cons "model" l) l))
(foreach n l
(command "-plot" "yes" n )
;and adapting some code posted earlier today to allow for a variable number of
returns
(while (= (logand (getvar "CMDACTIVE") 1)
1)
(command "") ;pagesetup must have been performed
or this is pot luck.
) ;_ end while
);end foreach
);end
plotalltab
Hope that helps.

How about this in your script:
(foreach tab (vl-remove "Model" (layoutlist))
(setvar "ctab" tab)
(command "-plot" etc. etc...)
)

Don't think you need vl-remove. Since (layoutlist) doesn't include "model"
in the list but you pointed out a major flaw in mine. OOPS! A revision
follows.

(setq l (if model (cons "model" l) l))
(foreach n l
(setvar "ctab" n) ;oops this was forgotten in first post.
(command "-plot" "yes" n )
;and adapting some code posted earlier today to allow for a variable

Thanks for spotting it Eric.

(layoutlist) _may_ return "Model" at times. It is a noted bug (at least here
in the ng).

Thanks for correcting me. I hadn't learned of that bug. Still new to
monitoring this NG. I tested (layoulist) several times last night and
today and during those tests it did not return "model." Wish the "noted"
bugs were a little more accessible.

It's quite alright. They may have even fixed it by A2k2.
