load dsd file and publish to pdf

Hi everyone,

I am creating a dll in c# for AutoCAD 2020 and I have a 2D Model (Plan) with multiple pages. I have created a dsd-file that has all the information I need: plot syle, plotter, print size and "What to plot: window". I need to plot every single page to PDF.

I want to load the dsd and publsh everything. Any ideas?

So it was simple. Just load the dsd with ReadDsd and Publish with the plotter of choice

string dsdFilePath = @"C:\Users\path.dsd"; if (File.Exists(dsdFilePath)) { using (DsdData dsdDataFile = new DsdData()) { dsdDataFile.ReadDsd(dsdFilePath); PlotConfig acPlCfg = PlotConfigManager.SetCurrentConfig("DWG to PDF.PC3"); //or another Application.Publisher.PublishExecute(dsdDataFile, acPlCfg); } }
