ploting sets from layouts

[jshore]

Publish is great! it has saved a ton of time, however I would like to know if there is a way to use lisp to crate a template DSD for different city requirements/ trade sets which require multiple prints of certain layouts on drawing sets. Jobs are single file multiple layout setup. so sheet set manager is no good. I found a lisp that sets dsd to  print all layouts to multipage DWF. (close but no cigar) I need to print all layouts and combinations of layouts to plotter/printer/ and one full set to PDF.

Might your first name be Jersey?  That would be great.

I am sold on sheet sets and publishing to DWFs.  Plus you can print them to any plotter or PDF without all the plot setup crap.

Multi-drawing, multi-layout are no limitations.

I have looked in to sheetsets. I currently use batchplot to publish sets. The object is to not have to recreate the wheel every time a drawing is saved for a custom job. as sheetsets and dsd files require the file path of the drawing. these will not allow a template without a routine that reads the current job filepath. I am looking for a lisp or lisp/dst combo that will allow me to set up a print job from a template. for the requirements of the city/product line. etc.  i.e. set 1 layouts 1,2,3   set 2 layouts 1,2,3,4 set 3 layouts 5,6, etc.... all at once in order to save time not only in setting them up but binding them as well...

I think you are better off using script. With the proper script you can create a PDF and Bind at the same time specifying the publishcollate system variable for multiple or single sheet pdf output.

Use either ScriptPro or AutoScript. I believe both use CoreConsole
