How to print the multi page Drawing list

[juha-pekka.rindell]

Hey !

As a newbie maybe this is very simple but I have not done it ever.
How to print the multi page document from a single sheet, like the drawing list or some other schedule ?

What I tired to do was
- placed several title blocks/borders at the same sheet
- splitted the drawing list to several pages

But when printing there was only one page printing.

(and how about the page numbers ?)

If I understand you correctly, you tried to create several sheets on the same sheet view. Revit does not work that way...a "sheet" is an individual page. I don't even know HOW you would place multiple titleblocks on the same sheet unless you created it as a group or something. Typically a titleblock is its own family with labels and such and only one instance can appear per sheet view in the Revit project.
If you are just trying to print multiple sheets, in the print dialog you "Select Views/Sheets" and check off the sheets you want to print.

So what is the the way to go then?
How would do create the A4 drawing list?
Creating it page by page?

I hope I don't have to export it to excel anyway, when I would lose the immediate coordination !!

Perhaps I'm not really understanding what you are trying to accomplish...
Maybe if you could post an example of what you are trying to do? Or if someone else knows what you mean they could help...

Juha,

Do you mean batch printing - using " selected views / sheets " button from the print range - Print dialogue ?

[J. Grouchy]

I have a feeling j-p is used to setting up multiple sheets in one view...maybe model space in AutoCAD...and is attempting to do that in Revit. That's what I got from his initial question...but I may be wrong.

Can we batch plot where the file name saved automatically ?

At the moment I select all sheets to be printed in pdf and Revit will prompt me for a file name for each.

Is there a way so that they can all be done say drawing number would be the default file name...so that you can walk away while all of them are being converted to pdf

[beegee]

Point to the folder where you want to save the pdfs, either accept the default project name or give the output a name ie " Project 1 - "; select the sheets to be printed.

Say you have a drawing set numbered A01 to A10.
Revit will print 10 sheets identified as:-

Project 1 - Drawing Sheet - A01 - Sheet Name.pdf

to

Project 1 - Drawing Sheet - A10 - Sheet Name.pdf

...How to print the multi page document from a single sheet, like the drawing list or some other schedule ?...

I think, that the question really was how to print a schedule, that is several pages long?

For instance, I print my drawing list on the first page of CD (or Working Drawings - depending where you are) package, using just my strandard title block (with frame, title, etc.), with the schedule being its only content (in place of a drawing).

For, say, thirty to fifty (max) pages (drawing sheets) this is fine - just make the schedule text a notch smaller and it will fit on ONE page. But what if your schedule is for a package of, say, hundred and twenty pages? Your schedule needs to be split...! While you can split the schedule on ONE page (making it in several parts or "columns"), I haven't tried to split it over several pages (still maintaining its integrity). And this is (I think) the real question here...! - And I don't know the answer...

As to having several Title Blocks on ONE sheet - I am puzzled too... - I wasn't able to achieve it when I tried to do it on purpose (not that I would ever need it in Revit...). Unless there is one of them as per normal, and an identical looking family, but coded as a general annotation (and placed as such) as a second one.
