I want use just one layout,but I want more papers inside it, so I can export to PDF quickly. Many layouts make my laptop harmful. So any suggestions?

It's not a problem.
You need to use the PLOT command and specify the selection of the print area, select the DWG to PDF printer.
If you want to automatically print this in PDF, you can use additional applications:
Revers - Automatic batch printing
Attach an example dwg of your title block, we will give recommendations.

Hi,

>> I want use just one layout,but I want more papers inside it

As a layout only has one paperspace a layout is not designed to work that way. The intention is to create a layout for each paper you need (to plot or to save to PDF).

>> more papers inside it, so I can export to PDF quickly

You can run command _PUBLISH to export multiple layouts into a PDF with one command and one button OK.

What you you doing to be more quick?

>> Many layouts make my laptop harmful

Switching between layouts might need it's time, but the performance while working on the model does not slow down when having more layouts ... at least my experience, what exactly is slower on your system when having multiple layouts.

Additionally to this, what are your system specs (cpu, gpu, memory, operating system)?

I know I can use plot and use printer "dwg to pdf"

But, what I really want is make many pdf first in one layout, and then save them in sort of draft or something inside autoCAD, and then from autoCAD those PDF files has combined. So I don't have to combine pdf files outside autoCAD

Hi,

Command _PUBLISH creates one PDF file with multiple pages, each layout one page, and you don't need to combine anything outside of AutoCAD.

Read the messages carefully.
Nobody suggested you merging files from outside AutoCAD.
What you need is not a problem.
Publish - only one title block prints from one tab.
It needs an addition to print a lot from one tab.
Or do you want to import PDF?
Give an example of what is required!

@Anonymous hi,

one Layout is one Sheet (one paper space)...

if you want to arrange multiple sheets on one paper space then create multiple viewports or do the all work

in model space?!

Standard AutoCAD team - only one by one.
Standard Publishing - only one title block in one tab.
Need to use add-ons.
Looking at the photo - the norm.
Give an example dwg file, we will record the video how to do.
