Topic: Batch Plotting with Publish command

[psuchewinner]

Can anyone shed some light on how to Automate the Publish command through Lisp?  I can load my page setup easily enough but I am getting stuck with part of the actual command, such as specifying "sheets".  I want to plot all of my layouts of the currently opened drawing with the click of a button.  If there is a way of doing it without using publish, let me know.

Sorry this was overlooked so long ago. I only hope you found a solution.

No problem.  I did come up with a solution.  I was able to figure out the DSD file.  I write a new DSD file each time I want to plot.  I also import the required page setup and delete it after plotting is complete.  It workds great for me.  Thanks for the response.

I am looking into how to create the DSD file as well.
Thanks

since the DSD file is nothing more than a text file, I wrote the info needed in the DSD file to a text file.  I wrote the header and footer, which (if I remember correctly) are always the same in one portion of the routine and then I wrote all of the plotting info for each tab in a separate area of the routine.  It gets over-written each time I plot.

Does that mean that you are not prompted for the DSD filename, nor the PDF filename?
Which elements (lines) of the DSD file can I overwrite and still have it work properly?
Thanks
