Selecting tabs and looping

How can I loop through all tabs selected in a drawing so that each one is
plotted. I ask because acad 2005 will only plot one one tab, even if you
select all of them. If you can plot one tab surely with a bit of clever code
it may be possible to plot all tabs selected, by looping through them?
thanks Russ

 

I don't have 2005, but this might work.

(foreach LLN (layoutlist)
(setvar "CTAB" LLN)
(command "-plot" ......)
)

 

Isn't sheet sets the cool new way to batch plot?

As mentioned in my previous post, the problem starts when you want to
want to use another printer and you have portrait and landscape or some
other specific parameter for any drawing you want to select. This means
having to go through your list of drawings that you want to print and assign
previously saved page set ups to each dwg. All the time trying to work out
which page setup goes with what dwg. You can save your list of page setups
for dwgs you want to print, but what say if you only want to print the first
3 or every second one or what ever. You end up with different saved list for
every concievable combination. Arrrggghhh!

direction
