Automatically Change Sheet Name?

BenCads — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 04:02:54 GMT

Hello everyone, I've been trying to get the publish command to work and I am just about there. I'm wondering if there is a way to have my sheet names match the dwg file name and then save the pdfs to the dwg files location.

For example, in the screenshot I posted, I would like for the sheets to say

test-door1
test-glass1
test-door2
test-glass2

then save to the dwg's file location.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

Maybe this will help you - Revers
You can specify any file name. See print or publish settings tab

You should be able to do that with publish using Sheet set manager. BTW, where is the screenshot you're referring to ?

Yes, of course.
A strange question, if you open the site, then it says there ...

If your plotting 1 dwg then yes can have dwgname+layoutname, extras are plot range of layouts, plot to dwg location, plot individual and a single pdf with multiple pages.

Does not do multi dwg's and title blocks need to be consistent in layouts.
