plot multiple dwg-files (in different direcories) to pdf in multiple directories per cmd batchfile?

[Alexander_LindigETKK6]

Dear Community, 

I need your help.

With an older version of ACAD I was able to plot multiple dwg-files (source) to o muliple directories (target) per cmd batchfile. unfortunately I misplaced the batchfiles :-/.  

For each file was a line in the batchfile to plot it.

The comand looked simplyfied like that:

>> plot source dwg-file to target location pdf-file.

the Source files and target location are fix values so I do not need dynamic batch files.

Exemple Directories:

Source                                 Target

C:\CAD\drawingA.dwg >> X:\CAD-plan\PDF\drawingA.pdf

C:\CAD\drawingB.dwg >> Y:\Floorplan\PDF\drawingB.pdf

C:\CAD\drawingC.dwg  >> Z:\extern\PDF\drawingC.dwg  

Can somebody help? 

Thx Alex

PS: Batch Plot in ACAD doesn't seem the right solutions in this case.

I think I have it. You'll need to use a Page Setup in the CAD files for this script. I named the Page Setup "setup" for this example. Also, we have the plotter support files looking at another folder. I had to copy our PC3 file to the folder where Core Console is looking. Check out the video below.

Hi Vincent,

>" You'll need to use a Page Setup in the CAD files for this script. "

No need. You can use the current one (by bypasing all plot command options)

or you can change some settings individually, or you can use a named pagesetup.

But in all cases, the data/input has to be valid for the situation.

>"Also, we have the plotter support files looking at another folder"

If you don't know what that means, you might spend a few hours looking for it ‌😄‌ .

Anyone who is intensively involved with the ACC will explore the start parameter

and special handling for profile and additional extension what are load for usual in acad.exe,

but not ooth in ACC.

For me it was almost too long ago and I no longer remember some things properly 😑

Hi Alexander,

what is about the language question?

You using  ACC start string /l en-US parameter value,

but qour screenshot shwoing the de-DE Version. What's going on, and why?
