Printing all my layouts collated?

(OP)
Is this possible?  

RE: Printing all my layouts collated?

How are you printing now?

RE: Printing all my layouts collated?

Check out "Publish" at the command line in autocad

borg:

the way i print now is by clicking on each layout and going to file>print...  and then print 10 copies of layout 1, 10 of layout 2 and so forth and so on, so at the end i have to sort out all these papers to make my sets organized.

IFR's:

I'll look into the publish command.  

thanks so far guys.

RE: Printing all my layouts collated?

Check out an application called "Plottabs" at www.theswamp.org

It works really well.

publish works great!! IFR's ive been using it since u told me about it and i love it.  I can now print full sets of 10+ pages in less than 15 seconds when before it would take me a few minutes going through each layout.....


the only thing is that:

-when u start the layout, u HAVED to pick a 'page setup' otherwise chances are the print will get clipped when printing.

because of this, when i print sets of old jobs for the fabricators, pages get clipped on the top or bottom.  But it's okay because they already got submitted to Eng, GC and city so it doesnt matter if they get no top line on the t-block, the fabbers dont really care lol.

thanks again.
