How to convert multiple DWG layouts into a single PDF file?

Hello, I am currently working on a script to convert DWG files to PDF. However, the current script only converts the model space to a single page. When there are multiple layouts, the entire file doesn't appear. I would like to write a script that outputs all layouts into a single PDF. Could you please help me with this?

Hi,

 

If I judge you correctly, then I recommend: leave it alone and use additional software.
_

You either have to control the printer driver (find a suitable driver for multi-page PDF creation and control it via programming)

or you have to create a sheet list for PUBLISH via programming.

Both are a DIY project that requires a lot of knowledge, or time to learn - that can be months or years)

I therefore recommend using ready-made solutions from others, even if they cost a little bit.

I agree with cadffm - it will take a lot of time.
If you have difficulties, then attach a sample of your file with several title blocks. We will tell you what existing add-ons can be used to create a pdf.

This does exactly that but you need to edit to suit your layout title block and its set to a 0,0 control point, it is set up for a fixed size title block. Save Multi getvals.lsp in a support path as its autolaoded.
