AutoCAD - Can i batch plot multiple views of a 3D object to a pdf file?

I am trying to convert a 3D dwg file to a PDF.

I dont want a 3D PDF, but a normal PDF file, containing several angleshots of the original 3D dwg file. 

This could for example be a shot from the top, bottom and side of the dwg file.

Is there any way to do this in a batch? im looking to convert around 5000 dwg files. 

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the reply

Maybe i should be more elaborate. 

Lets say i wanted to print a 3D figure of a human. I would like to print a view of the frontside of the human, the backside of the human, and a top-view. Is this possible to do automatically, og do i need to make 3 different layouts, with each their own view manually?

Hi @Lukas.StoltzAndersen 

 

Maybe using the VIEWBASE command may give you the result you require. A base view is the first view created in a drawing and then all other views are derived from the base view.
