Issue 1:
I don't know if this started when I upgraded to version 2014 or if it started when my hard drive was reformatted shortly after that. Anyway, here is my issue. When I go to publish a folder of files, the files to seem to get sent to the printer until AutoCAD is finished publishing. I think they are all queuing up on my local system and only getting released once the whole batch is done. This can be a substantial delay.
Issue 2:
I don't know if this is a bug or a system issue. From version 2012 to 2014, when I go to select the files I want to batch plot, it takes a while to actually select them. That's not so bad. The bigger problem is that if I select too many, AutoCAD just sits with the progress donut spinning. It basically freezes. Then I have to kill it, restart it, then publish in smaller subsets to achieve my goal.
