publish a multipage DWF

When I use Autocad 2015 to publish a multipage DWF, the DWF is zoom extents on the first page only. All other pages are zoomed in on lower left quadrant.

I would like all pages to  be zoomed extents.

Not enough information: is this a problem in your DWF viewer? Then you are in the wrong forum.
Otherwise double-check your pagesetup for the other pages, they don't match the pagesetup of the first page.

Are all your layouts formatted the same?

Do you use Page Setup Manager?

If you use Page Setup Manager, have you applied the same setup to each layout?

Is this a multi layout drawing file?

Or do you have multiple drawing files with one layout each?

 

Are you using the Publish command?

Or are you publishing from Sheet Set Manager?

 

No info, no suggestions to fix.

Yes: All are same. Using Pagesetup Manager.

 

Yes: Applying to all sheets.

 

Multiple drawing file with one layout each.

 

Yes I am using the publish command.

 

Attached is the file that I use for my page setup.

Your template file has a page setup for the model space.

 

It does not have a page setup defined for the layout.

 

Also, once you define a page setup to need to set it "current".

The page setup in model space was not set current.

I also just noticed that your sheet size/title block appears to be 36 x 24 inches yet the DWF print is set to 11x17.

You should set the DWF output to full size 36x24.

 

If you need to print hard copy to 11x17 it's best to do that when you print the DWF.

Including Named Views in DWF Files
Any named views that are saved in the DWG file when the DWF file is created are saved to the resulting DWF file and can be restored using any of Autodesk’s DWF viewers. For convenience, a view named INITIAL, if not already defined in the drawing file, is also saved as part of the DWF file. The INITIAL view corresponds to the current view of the drawing at the time the DWF file was created.

 

Is there a way to set the inital view of the templet file to over write all of the files when I publish to DWF?

 

This appears to be the problem.

 

I also made all of the changes that you sugested.

Your orignial question was about the result of publising to DWF was inconsistent.

 

I have no idea what you want to accomplish so I will offer the following suggestions:

 

If you want to publish a layout page setup, you need to define that in layout (paper) space and set that page setup current.

This will ensure proper publishing for all layouts to DWF.

 

If you have any named views within you drawing file, that's fine, but you can't use a named view for printing or publishing.
