Batching multiple layouts

I have been using a batch processor to print for a while now and it has saved me a lot of time in the past, however I was just about to run a script on around 100 drawings when I realized that each drawing has 3 layout sheets. I can't see any way to print all layouts from the command line so that it may be entered into a script. Is this the case or is there a way of automating the printing of multiple layouts?

 

Sorry, I should have done a search first. I gave up using the AutoCAd bath plotter becuse I found it tempremental when reducing the size of print and not printing to the default page size of the printer. However with the added function of being able to plot all layouts I guess I'll have to give it another chance.

 

I'm not convinved that this batch plot program is any good. It has worked for about a quater of the drawings perfectly, however for the remaing 3/4 of drawings it returned a message: ERROR: Failed to set Page Setup in current layout anyone offer any advice on this matter?

 

If you are happy using your script then you can stick with it.

Using lisp you can cycle through the tabs and plot each one.

If you download our demo and using the "Plot - Detailed Setup" wizard fill
in your plotting information and select All Tabs. It will create a script
that can plot all tabs and also Model/Paperspace automatically. After you
have created the script you can view the script and use it in your own batch
program.
