Title: Problem with publish and +publish
Post by: vincent.r on March 02, 2019, 05:50:23 AM

Hi,

I do have thousands of drawings to print in dwf format. I tried to add those drawings in publish window, but due to heavy number of drawing files ACad not responding. Hence, I wrote lisp code to create dsd file. This dsd file works fine with +publish but it creates separate dwf files. I need multi-sheet files. Tried publishcollate but it doesn't work. Any idea ?

Try to create dsd for multisheet dwf and check what parts are different.

Perhaps, BACKGROUNDPLOT needs to be changed?

Thanks for suggestion but it doesn't  work. I created two .dsd files. One is through from publish window and other one is from lisp. both .dsd files are same. Problem is with execution. If I used publish window then both .dsd files creates multi-sheet pdf/dwf file. If I used +publish/-publish then both files creates separate dwf/pdf files. I do not understand why its happening. tried with publishcollate and background variables also.

Your kind cooperation will be highly appreciable.

Last I checked, I believe Autodesk is aware of the problem and has never fixed it, which is why I used a command line based tool to merge PDFs after creating them in my routine.

Hi folks, found some solution. I change the values of variables of CACHEMAXFILES & CACHEMAXTOTALSIZE to 32000 and turn off hardware acceleration. Now Acad perform better. But pain is still there with publish and +publish.

I'm able to write multi-sheet PDFs using a DSD file. Do you have the option set in the Publish dialog as per the attached image?
