how to plot several layouts on the same page?

[Anonymous]

I have several layouts to plot on a roll (plotter). Each layout is only 297mm high. So i there is space to plot up tot 3 layouts above eachother. Now i have to plot each layout seperate from eachother and lose 2/3 of the paper. Is it also possible to do the same plot with layouts from differtent DWG's? I use autocad LT 2017.

Welcome to the Forums

Don't think it can be done by AutoCAD. Is there not a setting in your printer which says do multiple prints per page?

You can just copy and paste the contents of the three layouts in one new layout.

I don't think it can be done on different drawings, however.

Some plotters might have this option, but it is the plotter, not the PC.

You have to manually create what you want in a single layout tab with multiple viewports.
Or PLOT to PDF then use your printer/plotter driver's ability to do that if one exists there in that driver.
