Here we normally don't use publish in our LDD2004, but one of our employees is working on a 30 sheet drawing. Each drawing is set up seperately, and is drawn in model space. As long as the plot settings have been saved in each drawing, can this person use publish to plot each sheet out to a plot file without having to open each drawing individually? Plotters are networked and shared, fyi. -- Dennis Hyman, Cad Operator, Survey Dept. Windows 2000Pro 512mb RAM, 2.4Ghz P4 GForce 4 MX video card LDD2004 Map, Civil Design & Survey
see below.... Yes. You must make sure your PC3 is set to output as a PLT. Setup is the key. I find I must go through each sheet manually first to get a good sheet set. Ron Meicho
Ok, but do I need each drawing open in the session, or can I open just one drawing and build the list? And does each plot go to a seperate plot file, or are they combined into one plot file?
see below.... Once your list is made you only need one open file to start publish. I have a shortcut on my desktop to open a dummy file just to access the publish command. And does each plot go to a seperate plot file, Yes No You can also mix devices and page size (pagesetups) within the same list (full size, half size etc). A little trial and error on a couple of files will get you going. Ron Meicho
