Publishing multiple layout tabs missing

clukeDGNCC — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 15:33:47 GMT

When publishing a drawing with 50+ layout tabs, I select all the layout tabs, then select publish, when the publish dialog box opens, many of the layout tabs at the end are missing from the list. What is causing this? Is there a setvar setting that needs to be changed for the number of tabs? Sometime, I can save the file, close autocad, open it back up and publish the file and all the tabs are showing in the list. Any thoughts?

PUBLISH command is designed to capture all of your layouts in your open DWG file(s) all by itself, do you prefer to never use that? It's perfect when you need to capture "all".
Or is that what is failing? Or do you have that turned off?

SSM (SheetSet Manager) also exists to tackle your need and avoid always manually selecting "all" like that: any reason you folks have avoided adopting it?

There are times when we don't publish all tabs so we teach to right click the tab which pops up the menu to allow you to select all tabs, then right click the tab to select "Publish Selected layouts".
So choosing to "select all layouts" is what isn't working when we select "Publish selected layouts".

I will test the publish option to see if it is consistent with the "select all layouts".

I can't replicate the issue, but I rarely manually select a few from 50+tabs in a DWG file to only publish a selection, SSM (SheetSet Manager) is the better tool for such precise Layout Tabs Management, sorting, and precise PUBLISHing needs.

Consider adopting that tool to teach as well.

Thank you.
I have not found it to be replicated with everyone. Seems to be just two out of 14 that have issues and it isn't consistent with those two.

will dig deeper. Thank you for your time.
