I think it’s very useful if you need to plot many AutoCAD sheets at once, especially if you want to do it to different printers. You can add more layout from other drawings too (you don’t need to open the drawings). Or you can use print> batch plot.īelow, you can see that the model and layouts from my drawing. Now that we have several sheets (well, I only have two) we can try to plot them at once to different printers. Add all information you need before you plot it.
You should see the page setup name in the parenthesis. Below my current AutoCAD layout is Layout3.Ĭhoose which one you want to use, then click set current. You should see the layout name in current layout. You need to open the layout you want to set, then open page setup manager. You may want to give it a try to your real printer.ĭon’t forget to set the AutoCAD layout to use the page setups. I want to set the paper size to A1 and I want to plot it to dwf printer. In some AutoCAD default templates, several page setups are already defined. Now you will see the manager dialog box opened.
Or you can activate a layout, right click on layout tab and choose page setup manager from contextual menu. You can open it from AutoCAD menu> print> page setup. You can define page setups in page setup manager. I know that we can do that, but then I’m thinking: can we send the AutoCAD sheets to different printers/plotters at once? After playing with it for a while I found that yes, we can! This is another reason why you should use AutoCAD layout! Page Setup Managerīefore you can use AutoCAD batch plot, you have to set each layout to use a proper page setup. I saw Shaan Hurley ( asked his followers, whether they already aware that: using page setup allows them to publish to different plotter.
