Pro/batch printing

(OP)
Who can help me to create a plot file using pro/batch and using files from a workspace.
I tried the suggested technique for using pro/batch on the PTC-site, but when I execute the batch file  the pro status is finished and the result is done.
But I cannot find a result.

RE: Pro/batch printing

Try to follow the setup instructions for Pro/Batch in this document and see if it helps.  It might be more than you are looking for but may help.  There isn't much in terms of documentation on Pro/Batch.

Hello fighterpilot,

I have made 100 pdf's and it worked fine.
There are still some problems that I have, the pdf-files have got no colours, is it possible to get them in colour?
When I make a pdf in an A3 format it is perfect, when I make a pdf in an A4 format, I have to cut the sides of my drawing in acrobat. (I do a print in format size in pro/batch.)
I have yet to do about 500 drawings is it possible without cutting the pdf's ?

RE: Pro/batch printing

In Table 2 of the article replace "a b c d e" with "a4 a3 a2 a1" so you can use metric paper sizes.  Also, under Figure 4 of the article there is a paragraph on how to set Pro/Batch to use Format Size.

As for making them in color I don't have a solution for that.  We always did B&W.
