Plotting multiple named views.
Plotting multiple named views.
(OP)
Hi,
I have some drawings which have been arranged with multiple named views. Is there any way to batch plot multiple named views in a drawing?
Thanks,
Tom

RE: Plotting multiple named views.
Print (to a file) each of the views. Name each file differently.
To print out these "PLT" files, use this batch command
COPY /B FILE1.PLT LPT1
On a network, you will need to map your printer to your LPT port:
NET USE LPT //SERVERNAME/PRINTERNAME
Or, you can use Adobe Distiller to turn your plt files into PDFs. To do this, rename the PLT files to PS.
Or, you can associate PLTs to Distiller. Then if you double click on a PLT file, a PDF is automatically created.
We use this approach for all our drawings. It makes it real easy to batch plot.
