    I am looking for a solution to plotting multiple tabs in one drawing at a
    time to a PLT file. In LDDT04 we could just select all the tabs and plot
    to the plotter or to a file. in LDDT05 if we do this all we get is the
    first page. If i use the publish command we can plot all the tabs to the
    plotter but cannot send all to a PLT file without going back and changing
    all the pagesetups to a PLT version of our Plotters PC3 file. Does anyone
    have a work around for this or is there a third party software that will do
    what i am trying to do.

    Try setting up a template file with a layout what has the plt settings you
    want as a named pagesetup. Then in the publish dialog import that pagesetup
    to override the current layout pagesetups. Works for me and still keeps the
    original pagesetup with those layouts.

    Thats is one of the options i have been considering, i am just looking for
    the easiest possible solution at this point. My biggest problem is we have
    a few people that insist on making htere own layout tabs instead of useing
    my templates like they are supposed to do. And because of this the they
    don'tplot 1:1. They will setup there drawing to plot at like 1:20 or 1:30
    so this solution will not work for them unless they are forced to follow
    the standards like they are supposed to which then you have to have a boss
    willing to force standards which i don't have all the time.

    Thanks for the tip though.
