How to Batch plot drawings

[Anonymous]

I have to print out a complete detail manual for the company that I work for. I have the complete manual drawn and now I am looking for an easy way to print all of the drawings in succession. What is the easiest way?

You buy a 3-rd party software that is designed to help you batch
process sets of drawings, or get into DOS batch files. Use the
search feature on this NG for tips to both.

Hello,

You do need third party software.

If you are looking for a program that will automatically create the routines for you, is easy to use, does a lot more than batch plot and has been described as "Awesome for the price" then take a look at Multi-Batch http://www.multi-batch.com/ If you need help let us know.

Elliot,

If it is feasible to put all of the drawings into one Autocad file model
space by the "insert" command, you can then format each individual page
using multiple paperspace tabs.  Set up each paperspace tab for the
same printer.  Right click on any paperspace tab, select "all layouts",
click on the plot icon, check over the settings and press "OK".  You
are now batch plotting your manual.

We set up a script file for each job. It opens, plots, and closes each
sheet. The hard part is listing these commands for each sheet. However
once it is set up, then you can uses it over and over for each phase of the
project.
