Re: Batch Plot

Well what we have is 11 different DWGs. Each street is about 2-4 miles, and every page is seperated by a match line, we have mulitple viewports each including a title block and page number. What i want to be able to do is somehow drag (well say file number 2 out of 11) and print the 8 pages in the viewport connected to it without actually selecting each page in the layout view

I have a feeling that this is not possible...ill probably have to make a plot file of every viewport and then plot it....?

Re: Batch Plot

What version of AutoCAD?

As for an immediate solution.. Hire a temp for a week. That's what I did mostly when I worked as a drafter at my last job. We had print requests come in from everywhere and I had to plot them all. I think the largest job I had to do was about 70 C and D size prints. That was a 2 week job, (timed that way for sanity's sake) and the plotter was constantly being used those two weeks by myself and the other drafters in the department.

Another thing you have to think about is the amount of paper and ink you will be using to do this.. Is it really worth it in the end? (I'm assuming yes.)

That's a lot of paper rolls. And you said D size?? I hope Fresno has a paper mill nearby to buy out the entire warehouse's stock.
