Export Layout to Model - Batch

[scottspeig]

I am being asked to upload individual CAD files for each individual layout. The command I'm surrently using is "export layout to model", as I have no concern with the scaling aspect of it, but I have over 150 layouts in one file, and so this is a tedious task. I was wondering if there's a way to batch command this process like publish. Running AutoCAD LT 2023

Nothing in the software will do that, sorry. LT2023 is also limited on automation.

If you upgrade or install the trial version of 2024LT then you can automate this task using lisp

Hi. There is no button for that task. You can try some lips on youtube channel

OP:

"Running AutoCAD LT 2023"

So no lisp for 2023.

I'm reviewing this topic for my office, as we have multiple designers that use AutoCAD differently (one set uses just model space putting borders & dimensions there, others use layout tabs etc).

Does full AutoCAD (not LT) export multiple layouts complete with hatching and wipeouts? This would allow each designer to create the drawing as they want, with the final product becoming individual files that can be updated individually.

So not ability to train or enforce standards, huh? That's the actual solution as you know of course.

Full AutoCAD and this free add-on will do it, you are welcome to try it in LT2024-5-6-7 and see if it works or not
