Publish multiple PLT files

Ok I must be overlooking something in 2005. How do you publish multiple
sheets using the PLT option. I am trying to do this from the SSM and can't
seem to find it. Any and all help is appreciated.

I am just trying to process all the sheets in a SSM to separate PLT files.
But if it is possible to make them into a single PLT file that might be nice
also

 

Well that is what I thought but when I go to the page set up there is no
option for output to file. There is when I plot but not in a page setup.
Or is it there but in a different place then in the plot option.

 

This may or may not work for you, but I find this quite easy and very
inexpensive process:

An easier solution would be to use AutoM8 from www.m8tools.com. AutoM8 will
let you pick the printer/plotter you want to use and then set all the plot
settings and batch plot multiple drawings, it will even plot multiple
layouts if you need it to.

 

I agree - AutoM8 is great, and for more than just plotting! You can use it
to run batch routines of any kind on any selection of files. Among other
things, we have it change a bunch of stuff to standard settings, batch clean
the drawings, then automatically plot them out to DWF files for use in our
web-based details browser. We just set it to chug along automatically, doing
in about a half hour what would take at least a day if done manually.
