printManager Properties *PRINTING!*

[CristianHarper]

Hello,

I'm working on a program to print and combine sheets in a company standardized order. For example Sheet numbers with MD should be before the M sheets in the combined pdf file.

Doing the research I am finding very little information about the printManager  Class.

My questions are:

1. How do I set a property to true in the print manager? Such as printManager.CombinedFile property.

2. How do I set the printing setup to a saved setup created previously? (Click File>Print>Setup>Name:Dropdown)

Any help on this would be huge. I've got my SheetSet worked out to where I can print desired sheets, and I've printed them individually. I would like to combine them with the print setup so that they are the correct paper size.

Note:

I understand there are programs that somewhat do this. This is a company standard that I'm trying to follow and will be used many data collection processes for proposals.

Thanks!!

Dear Kale,

Here are two previous discussion in this forum answering your first question:

• https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/printing-api-and-printmanager-printtofilename-setting...
• https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/print-to-pdf/td-p/8503420

I found them by simply searching the Internet for printManager.CombinedFile:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=printManager.CombinedFile

Maybe I searched harder than you did?

🙂

Best regards,

Whoops...

I was using printManager.CombinedFile as true; instead of = true... (Noob mistake)

That issue is fixed!

Off to selecting the print setup.

It looks like the 2nd link contains the info I need for the second question.

I'll resolve this discussion.

Huge help!

Thanks for the quick reply!
