Automatically Creating Layouts for DWG Files Lacking Predefined Layouts

[heuiy]

Hello Autodesk Community,

I have 60 DWG files stored in the directory "C:\Users\LG\Downloads\". I intend to batch convert these DWG files into PDFs using the Sheet Set Manager (SSM). However, these files only contain model space and no predefined layouts, which results in blank outputs when I try to print them.

Could anyone advise on how to automatically create layouts for each of these DWG files before processing them with SSM? Any suggestions on scripts or tools that could automate the layout creation process would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

I believe you have a Model dwg which you want to plot multiple sheets. Depending on what is in your Model then convert to layouts is possible.

In the image the rectangs have been made at a scale that matches a viewport in a layout, the code reads the rectangs and makes a layout to suit, including rotation. A version I have reads rectangs of different sizes ie single title block but different scales.

So in simple terms what does your model look like need a sample. The sample should have a layout with a title block.

1. First of all, you must understand for yourself what you have, Sea-Haven wrote about this

2. After which you can find a ready-made solution on the forum using a search.

For example :
There are many Lisps for creating viewports. If you cannot use Lisp, then use the "AutoViewport" program.
and you can also immediately print from a model from many drawings. Similarly, there are many Lisps, and there is a ready-made "Revers" program.
