Batch plot varying scale sheets

Looking for guidance. I will explain what I am trying to accomplish in total. My issue is I am not familiar with all the options/commands to know where to begin/what to google.


I have drawings that are created by a system. Each sheet will be an individual AutoCAD drawing of possibly varying scale. Each of these individual drawings will be exploded and copied into a single "template" drawing (due to each individual drawing containing like named blocks). This will always be the the process.

I would like to be able to:
1. Insert a shape, bounding box, view, or (whatever it's called) into the "template" drawing model space as needed that would be the size needed to contain the scaled exploded drawing I am about to copy in. User will need to create this by selecting the scale "box" to create. This "box" that is created is now the bounding area for that pages contents.
2. Whatever the thing is from (1.) I would like to be able to iterate over each of those created items and print to a single multipage pdf of paper size 11x17.

The drawings will always be exploded and copied in a page at a time. The print output will always be a single multipage pdf of paper size 11x17 no matter the scale of each drawing.

Thanks.

If you want to automate the steps, custom programming is needed. If interested feel free to contact us
