Plot to PDF file with -PLOT command without having file name dialog

Kazunori.Aoki — Sun, 08 Jul 2018 08:48:07 GMT

Hi.

Is it possible to plot a layout to PDF file with -PLOT command without having file name dialog?

I do not want to specify a file name on the dialog; I want to input it in command line.

What I want to do is plotting several layouts to separated PDF files using a script file.

I know I can do it in Publish dialog, but I prefer to do it with a script.

I think you dont talk about a autocad dialog...

With the native AutoCAD PDF driver (DWF to PDF.pc3 for example), yes.

It is also possible with every other pdf driver if you can set the filename handling to automatic in that driver.

Check your PDF driver settings about FileName setting.

Hi, great!
Yes, I could do it with "DWF to PDF.pc3" after changing FILEDIA to 0.

Thank you very much!!

You will have to change the variable of FILEDIA every time.
There are additional programs for printing to automatically specify the file name.
Search on the forum - batch printing.
