How to print multiple layouts

[Anonymous]

How do I print multiple layouts at once in the same file, like a batch print so i dont have to individually print each layout?

Highlight them all, right-click and go for it ... well, post back if you get stuck.

Hi Dean,

How do you highlight them all?

Thanks

Click on the first tab. Hold down the shift button. Click on the last tab.

Click on the First Layout, Hold CTRL or Shift then click on the next Layout, either the end of the line or one by one.

If CTRL keep holding down the CTRL butto as you Select Layouts

When using this method, the batch takes a long time to print or save to a PDF. Before I updated to 2018, I changed a setting that made the process much faster but it has reverted now and I don't remember where I went to make the change. Any ideas? 

Thanks.

OK, I remembered. You just have to deselect the box that says "publish in background". For some reason that option slows down the whole process.

have you tried to use the publish command?  you can remove the layouts you don't want to plot from the list

Once selected, right click on a layout tab and select publish all.

Don't then go ctrl+p for print, you will still only get the currently viewed layout.
