Regedit key for pubblishing dwg from MS Windows

[querycad]

Hello 

does anyone know the key which can be added to MS Windows 10 redit in order to pubblish a dwg file without open it?

I mean pubblishing the dwg directly from the Windows folder using the contextual menu which appers rightclicking on the dwg file. With Autocad2022 and W10. 

Thank u

Currently in Autocad2022 and W10 the possibilities of pubblishing regards only via DWT

Hi,

you will how to add a item to contextmenu in general forum (for windows stuff) faster.

I prefer to use the "Send to" context menu.

The main question (for me) is: Do you know how to do publish one file from outside autocad?

Please explain " the possibilities of pubblishing regards only via DWT"

I don't know what you mean and i like to learn about it.

Because the publish from outside, need a ready .dsd fike or a program what will create such file for this dwg. Or not?

Hello

The aim of the post is to speed the design process.

ie. when we create the drawings in the model space and we have set up the dwg file with all the layout settings with for example the "plotter definition" and also the "automatic pubblishing" setted up with definition of the destination folder of output - it is no need to open the file to plot the layouts, don't we?

So we can speed up the design process by pubblishing from outside. If the dwg file is ready to pubblish because it has inside all the settings to be ready to then it will be usefull to start the pubblishing process from the outside.

So we can organize better the work flow:

1. do the drawings in the model space;

2. do the layout preparation with automatic pubblishing settings;

3. do the pubblishing from the outside.

This work flow save times because we do not spend time to open again the file to pubblish or we do not have to wait for automatic pubblish when we save it or close it: we need to care about drawing and setting then we pubblish what we have drawn and setled from outside in a third moment.

To do this we can use a function on the context menu of windows rightclicking on the dwg file setted up. At present on AutoCAD22 with W10 the context menu offers the pubblish to DWF. The DWF format it is not so common where I work and clients doesn't seem to be interested at.

So we need to have the function "pubblish to PDF" there instead or together with "pubblish to DWF"

Hello

probably we do not need automatic pubblish.

the .dsd file it can be created during the layout setting.

normally when we do pubblish from inside we prepare all the settings wich remain within the inside of the dwg file

so lunching pubblishing from outside will lunch a process which goes to read the .dsd file inside setted up which is the same that we find or we would use opening the file and doing the pubblish manually
