BATCH PLOT PAGE SETUP

Anonymous — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 14:36:56 GMT

Under Page Setup in Batch Plot there is a drop down menu whereby one can stipulate what size layout they want to plot to, ARCH A,B,C,D,E,E1...etc..

This setup I'm currently using doesn't have these options, just Default: None and Import.

Can someone please direct me to a file that I can import, so I have the option to choose any one of these necessary layout sizes?

thank you,

Jeremy

You need to start with one of your own files that has all these tings you want already defined, then add these others files to it. You can't use a file from a stranger on the internet, we don;t all work for your company.

PUBLISH RULE OF THUMB:
1. Launch Publish from a drawing that is not part of the publish set, but is configured with all your possible sheets and plotter options.
2. Bring in all the drawings/tabs to be published.
3. Import the pagesetup desired from the template file (in your case, one set up for exacting desired output).
4. PUBLISH.

and if there are no previous files with all of these parameters defined?

Then you need to create one that fits your needs and works with your printers/plotters and preferences: we all create our own template files with our own plot settings and layouts and preferences and you should take the time and do so too.
