    Hallo to anyone !
    I've a problem about printing A4 pages in a drawing.
    Now I explain the question:

    inside a created drawing exists several pages in A4 format ( all pages in a
    same model space not in layout ) : how can I plot all pages in one time (
    maybe in AutoList prg, macro or others ? ). ... naturally using maximum
    extension in a A4 sheet for each part of sheet.
    Thanks to all for any kind of help ( links, samples or other way "to do
    it" )

    The best way to go about this would be to create paper space layouts.
    But you can print them all from model space. It is a littel more
    cumbersome, but can be done. You would have to create a named view of
    the printable area for each page to be printed. Then you could create
    a script that would print by view. Something like this might work.
    You would have to edit it for your printer, paper size, offset, etc.
    Don't add anything in the <> brackets.

    -plot
    yes <detailed plot configuration>
    model
    *plot device.pc3*
    *paper size*
    inches <paper units>
    landscape <portrait or landscape>
    no <upside down>
    view <display area>
    *view name*
    fit <plotted scale or fit>
    0,0 <plot offset (x,y)>
    yes <plot with styles>
    *ploy style.ctb*
    yes <plot with lineweights>
    as displayed <shade plot setting>
    no <plot to file>
    no <save changes to page setup>
    yes <proceed with plot>

    once you get all the variables set, and can produce a good looking
    plot, just repeate the same script with a different view for each one.
    Place everything into one script file and you can print all the views
    with one file. Good luck.
