Mass Printing Sheets

[RichConyers]

Anyone who has printed a 200-sheet project to PDF from Revit understands that printing each sheet individually takes FOREVER! There are many reasons we need sheets to be printed individually and it's not something we can work around by printing as one document (without equally as much work). A simple option when printing to PDF like "Select the following naming convention -or- rename each sheet individually" would be a WORLD of difference, especially on large projects. Here are some possible naming convention options:

Sheet Name_Sheet#_date of issue

Sheet Name_Sheet#  

Sheet Name

Sheet#

Numeric Order (1,2,3....)

Alphabetical Order (A,B,C....AA,BB,CC when exceeding 26 sheets)

I know this is not what yo're asking for, but we use a program called Advanced Renamer to post-process the PDF file names.

Once you've got some rules set up, it works in seconds.

While it requires a separate subscription, I totally recommend X-Rev Transmit.  It will name all your exports, PDF, DWG, DWF, etc based on parameters set to your project and titleblocks.  

And yes, I know exactly what it is like to do this with 500+ sheets

I'm aware of the third party programs to work around this issue.

The problem is it shouldn't be a work around! This is a very simple solution to a common, and long-lived, annoyance. 

We currently have a program to rename our PDF's but that means one more software to update, download, and teach.

Revit could do this natively, thus the idea post.
