DWF Batch Plotting
« on: April 14, 2005, 01:09:31 PM »
I think DWF's are great but the free viewer does not have a batch print that I can see. Does anyone know how to batch print dwf's?

Thanks,

Ron

I am assuning you have autocad 2005 or higher, by you signature text.

Use the sheet set manager to setup your sheets, (ie. existing drawings)
then use the publish from the sheet set and click the publish to dwf.
Autocad will then batch plot to dwf in either a multipage or single page format. Depends on how you specify.

I logged this with autodesk, and they say it cant be done.  They are escalating it to the developers.  I am going to try and write an app in C# to batch plot dwfs.
