Batch plot default file path

[jc.zamora.29]

Hi All,

Is there a way, that when you batch plot, the file path of the pdf automatically saves on the folder of the .dwg? Our current cad setting automatically redirects to a filepath that nobody uses and we have to save the pdf file on the folder of the .dwg project so we have to search for the file path of the .dwg everytime we batch plot. Im not sure if this is the default setting or somebody tweaked it? I tried changing the reference path for the plot and publish log file location but it can't be set to a "variable" file path. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks in advance

Try using "AUTOPUBLISH"

More information : AUTOPUBLISH (Command)

Hi @jc.zamora.29 ,

May I know what is not working for you when using "AUTOPUBLISH". Have you checked the Automatic publish settings in option, were in you can control what to include in plot and the location of the published pdf?

Sorry, i might not explained it thoroughly, but i think there isn't a option for autopublish to select the pages needed for printing?

Thanks! I'll try this one, may i ask where these settings can be found? also is there a setting for autopublish to ask if you want to override the pdf before plotting?

This is an add-on for AutoCAD : Revers 

Show an example of your file with the title block and specify how to save it.
I will make an example.

Ohh i'll look into this. Thanks for your time! autopublish might do the trick for now.

Found what we were looking for, under Batch Plot → Publish Options → Location

Unfortunately you cant set it to current folder so I just put the generic job directory.
