    First, thank you to anyone reading this message.

    I have a system printer, (pdfcreator) and I would like to be able to use the sheet set manager to print multiple drawings to this system printer. It will print fine to this printer but sends it all as one file (which is awesome if you want a multi-sheet pdf). Is there a way to force autocad to send each autocad file as a seperate print job to the system printer.

    Thank you to anyone that may have a response.

    Try a third party add-on called PlotM8 from M8tools.com.
    PlotM8 will cycle through your drawings and batch plot them and it can also
    create individual plot files of each layout. It should also be able to
    create the individual pdf files your looking for.
    Give it try, it's shareware and has a 31 day full demo period.

    Since I am only user, let me say that his"M8 Tools" are very inexpensive and
    are everything that he says they are. I use it all the time with
    satisfaction.
