Publish drawings on a different sheet size.

[SCOTT.99883]

I want to use Publish to print my drawings. I've used the page setup to print on 24"x36" paper with my large format plotter. Now I want to plot the same drawings in reduced scale on 11x17" paper on another printer for archive purposes. How do I do that without going back into every drawing file and having to setup another page? I should mention I draw using Model tab only. (This goes back to my early Autocad training when we used the MVSETUP command and set the drawing scale and titleblock size before we started drawing.)

Hi Scott,

This might not be the best place to post if you want an answer to your question: I'd try reposting over in the AutoCAD forums (if that's the what you're using?)

At a guess, I'd try rescaling your prints in your printer driver, or doing something programmatically using lisp or VBA.

Best of luck.

Hi

Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AUGIWorld Feedback forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike

open the first drawing, add the page setup there, then save the drawing, run the publish command, open the list of drawings, or create the list of drawings, change the page setup to import, and import if from the current drawing, just use the pull down for all the drawings in the list and save your publish list for later use.
