Multple plotting pdf files by view

SteveChing4507 — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 01:45:11 GMT

Is there any way of plotting multiple pdf sheets by view in AutoCAD?

I have a project that includes 50+ sheets within a single dwg file, with multiple sheets / paperspace tabs.

Thanks.

Hi,

When you say "sheet" are you referring to sheet set or paperspace tabs?

If your using sheet set manager you can right click on the sheet and select "publish". If only paperspace tabs then you can hold on shift and select all the paperspace tabs and right click and select "publish selected layouts".

Hi, Paperspace tabs. Each tab contains up to 12 drawings each.
Each sheet is defined as a view for sheet by sheet printing.

So that's not how paperspace is designed to work: each layout should be only one drawing. All you are doing with your workflow is the old school plotting from modelspace with views, you just moved them to paperspace. totally defeats any automation built into the program.

There is no built in automation for your files. Sorry.

This will require an additional program.
This is not a problem - use this: Revers
Give an example of your title block.

Use PUBLISH command rather PLOT command. That command plots all your layout tabs into single PDF file.
