BATCH PLOTTING

BATCH PLOTTING

BATCH PLOTTING

(OP)
I use both Microstation and ACAD. I can plot 50 microstation plots in about 2 minutes, ACAD takes 10-15 minutes for the same amount of plots. Does anybody out there know of any quicker way to batch plot, 3rd party software, other ideas?

RE: BATCH PLOTTING

My Batchplot utility crashed on me the other day so I went searching for a good replacement that was faster!

This one was the best that I found

http://xanadu-limited.com/scripteeze/

It is a batch script utility.  Gives you a log file for each operation and individually times them.  Log file said 8 sec per print when I ran a print script file.

It is shareware $35USD to register, but the unregistered version will do up to 20 files!  Most of the other software I tried would only let you do 10 or 5 or even only 3

RE: BATCH PLOTTING

Try a FREEWARE program called EZscript-Pro.
You can find it at http://www.ezscriptpro.com.
If you need help with a plotting script, just ask me.
