    Hi,

    Can anyone please give me a sample or procedure of a VBA that can apply
    "page setup" to all "layouts" then
    send all "layouts" to the "plotter" ?

    Thanks in advance,
    Afshin

    Have you tried the PUBLISH command?

    Hi Ed,

    I have tried that , I can easily create DWF off of my layouts but I can't
    send all layouts directly the plotter.
    Do you normally use Publish command to plot all layouts? Thanks,

    Afshin.

    I'm using ADT 2005. By default, it automatically selects all layouts in the
    dwg. You just select whether you want them to go to the plotter specified by
    each layout or to dwf.

    Perhaps you didn't set up each layout so that a plotter is specified? Do you
    use named page setups?

    The problem is that I don't want to set up each layout one by one,some times
    I receive drawing files from other companies,so I need something to apply my
    custom page setup to the layouts and send them all to the plotter, most of
    my clients don't know about pen assignments.
    By the way I am using Building system 2005 w/ sp1
    Thanks,

    In that case, you can use my dvb to import your page setups (since the
    client didn't supply them) and apply them to all layouts at once with a
    single click. Then use PUBLISH to plot all layouts. Boom, boom, done.

    I'll look for some code I have regarding this when I get home. I can tell you, however, that I had very problematic results until I stopped using AutoCAD2000 and started using 2005. What version are you using?
