Batch Plotting Archive Drawings
Batch Plotting Archive Drawings
(OP)
I need to get prints off hundreds of archived drawings. However the normal batch plot options are no good because the border is not a cell and they have not all been saved with the whole drawing in the view. However all the drawings occupy the same part of the design plane so if I could specify co-ordinates for plotting I think it would work. I don't want to have to open every drawing to sort this out. All ideas appreciated!

This is the low x,y and high x,y of displayed elemnts for the plotting area.

level it can be used to set your batch plot boundary..
Better yet you could create a macro that would place a polygon on level 1 colour 254 ( invisible color to plotter)at the chosen coordinates, you could then msbatch run apply the macro to do this on all the archived drawings.
Then you could run batchplot to select polygon on level 1 colour 254.
Alot cheaper than buying Iplot and other 3rd party software..
Go to the help file and read up on msbatch its great with macros..

Thanks LizardMan. Looked into the Interplot option but couldn't justify the expense. Have contacted equorum for a price for plot station.
