Selecting several DWG's and printing using right mouse button
Selecting several DWG's and printing using right mouse button
(OP)
Hello all,
We are working with ACAD 2004 LT. I want to be able to open up Windows Explorer ("My Computer"), select a bunch of drawings (DWG), right mouse and click print. Is this possible?
Currently I am selecting a bunch of drawings, right mousing and clicking on open (as I get an error message when I try to hit print) then clicking on the plot button for each drawing. This is too slow for me :(
Oh btw the error message I get says "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." Not sure what that means or how to create the associated file to make that operation work.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Just from memory, 98 and 2000 are similar, just look around. You can also look in the help file.. do a word search for file association.
I've never had any luck getting acad to plot that way. You will probably have to get a batch plotting program. Look on cadalog.com or cadalyst's website. Never looked for LT stuff, but they probably have something.

Anyhow, one of our engineers was able to write a script that does what I needed.
Again, thanks all to those who responded.
