Publish Command in 2005

if i am setting up a set to print, it seems that all the drawings need to be
in paperspace to work. I have a couple thousand older drawings that are in
modelspace that get printed often, but i aint about to spend a month setting
them up in paperspace. am i missing something, can you publish/batchplot
drawing in model space? TIA

 

The strategy behind DWF is that it is an electronic plot. The normal
approach is to set up various layouts and then plot them all to one DWF
file. Each sheet in the DWF corresponds to a layout. So that each sheet in
the DWF will have the proper scaling, it is normal to set up a layout by
associating the layout to a printer with a given paper size. If all you have
are model space views, what happens when you issue the publish command? Does
it complain about uninitialized layouts?

 

id love to use DWF, but with our DMS, no can do...cant rendition to a PDF or
DWF

Id like to set everything up in a layout, but i got thousands of older
drawing to change, i dont have the time, or the people.

this headache will go away when we get the GIS system, i just have to figure
out a way for a few months.
