Batch print Dwg sheets

kadscad — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 17:16:17 GMT

How can I batch print dwg drawings?
I want to be able to select dwg files,print all the sheets in that file or selected sheets.

and combine them into one pdf set or as individual pdf files.

I need to have all text searchable in the pdf file.

ideally this selection of drawings would be saved into a selection file in order to recreate updated drawings.

Go to Start Menu and look for the Task Scheduler under Inventor Professional's folder.
Go to "Create Task" in the top menu > Print Files... > Add files and/or folders with drawing files until you have them all.
Select the drawings and pick "Options" to set which sheets from each will be taken. You can select multiple rows on the table to adjust this.
If you are using CutePDF for printing, the text should become searchable, and the pro (paid) version of Cute PDF can also concatenate multiple files into one as needed, but if you prefer you can use this free site from Adobe (or look for any others online):
