Is there a program that I can use that will allow me to print the layers out of the layer manager to have on paper for reference for techs? I was informed of a tool to allow you to also print out the pen tables...that was supplied by Autodesk, is there any 3rd party software that does a better job of organizing it, or presentation?

You can use this lisp routine. It will make a list in acad in the text window, then just copy/paste that into a word processing program. As for the pen style table, I have only seen the one offered by Autodesk. Hope this helps,.
