SW Plotting - any way to nest printouts?

SW Plotting - any way to nest printouts?

SW Plotting - any way to nest printouts?

(OP)
I've searched for this, but can't find anything.

If you're plotting out loads of say, A2 plots (from separate dwg files) on an A1 plotter, does SW provide any functionality to nest them together to save paper & time?

Cheers,


Simon

Check the Print.Works tool from the AMCB's website find it in my signature.

Go to Knowledge Base->Downloads->Print.Works. You can view a demo on th ewebsite as well.

Brilliant, thanks, I'll give it a go

There may also be nesting functionality in the printer's driver.

Printer driver nesting I've seen usually only works for multiple pages of a single print job.  You could print your drawings to multi-page .tiff using the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer, then use something like (freeware) IrfanView to assemble the different multi-page .tiff files into a single multi-page .tiff for printing.  I don't think that would save time, though... smile

From the looks of things Artem Tat's recommendation appears to offer nesting from different SW drawings - I'll give it a go and report back if it's a success.
