Batch Plotting DWG's to Separate PDF's
« on: February 21, 2012, 03:08:25 PM »
I KNOW I've done this umpteen times in the past and I'm sure I've read posts about it, too.  Why can't I figure it out right now?!

I've got to batch plot dozens of drawings to separate pdf's.

PUBLISHCOLLATE sysvar and/or multi-sheet setting in the Publish options dialog?
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.

try {GreatPower;}
   catch (notResponsible)
      {NextTime(PlanAhead);}
   finally
      {MasterBasics;}

1) Publish.
    a) Use the "Default" page setup in each layout.
2) Get a cup of coffee.

Lovely!
After bashing my head against the wall over this, I come to find out it was pFD's the guy wanted... not pDF's!

Oh well... I would've come to that problem sooner or later anyway...
