Auto CAD 2021 - Auto Publish to different directory

[Anonymous]

Hello dear Auto CAD world 🙂

I was looking for hours in forums but could not find any fitting answer to my problem. 

Is it possible to "Auto Publish to PDF" to a different Hard Disk while the whole directory-structure of the .dwg-workspace is considerd? 

Example:

Workspace for CAD-User: << x:/CAD/ >>

In this workspace are the dwg-files organized in project-structure.

Example:

<< x:/CAD/project_1/part_a/xyz.dwg >>

The need is a automated workflow to "auto publish on saving" to the marketing-User workspace without adapting the output path each time:

Workspace for marketing-User:

<< z:/PDFs/ >>

Target for example:

<< z:/PDFs/project_1/part_a/xyz.pdf >> 

Can you help me to create the correct settings?

Thank you!! 🙂

OPTIONS command, Plot/Publish Tab, lower left corner has an Automatic Publish Settings button, all you can do is listed there with this built-in feature.

If you need to do way more than that, or need way more options/flexibility, you will need to customize with LISP and other commands instead. Ask in more detail at the customization forums here (LISP is a good place to start if you are not familiar with the other coding languages) https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-customization/ct-p/AutoCADTopic1
