Plot a series of drawings using array or something.

I have to plot multiple drawings in the same model space, containing multiple frames with their own unique titles and drawings. The frames are composed as a rectangular array. I could plot using window selection, but there are hundreds of frames. So instead I am here to find help finish the job quicker. 

 

http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/plotting-a-series-of-drawing-frames-composed-in-a-dwg-drawing-tip...

 

 

I want exactly what the link says it does. I downloaded the program, but it's not working. 

When I try to plot, CAD responds with, " Unknown command, "PLOTDWGARR". Press F1 for help".

When I try to make layouts using the program, it says to "create the template first", even though I've already created one.

 

Thanks in advance.

Your found Customization wants to create a layout for each frame, but you must have a Layout already defined/set up in a template file somewhere.

Do you ever plot from layouts at all?

There are other programs for printing from the model, you need to try different.
Attach an example of your .dwg file for verification.

yes I created the layout template with the given name, still I was flashed with the same response of creating the template first.

 

And yes again, I often use layouts to plot my work.

You can try this:

Revers - Automatic batch printing a multiple format (rectangles, frames) of model space
https://www.kdmsoft.net/revers.html
If you attach your sample file, you can accurately answer.

I couldn't get the program to work. I didn't know where  to start with the software, but whatever I tried didn't seem to work. Is there any other solution to my problem. 

I've attached a sample

Your file is very good.
No problems.
Look at the settings on the picture, and look for the search and print window.
Repeat these settings, perform a search and print.

You need to set up a template.
Specify the size of your frames 84x59
Specify your printer and paper size.
