AutoCAD 2007 LT - Using Publish command to batch plot Layouts

[voineavlad]

Hi!. I read a lot of thread concerning batch plot / publishing, and I still have some problems with it. In AutoCAD LT 2007 I only have the option to publish to DWF file. Anyone any ideas about how can I print 10 layouts on my printer?

Hy,

Ok, I don’t know Lt that good, but isn’t it possible to select different layout-tabs and plot/print them?

Yes, i tried that, and it works. Strange thing how publish works. It won't allow me to print directly from the publish command, I have to select multiple layouts and only after that I can send the plot job to the printer

Hy,

Probably a Lt thing. In the full you can plot multiple layouts.
But I'm glad it works the other way .

What does the PUBLISH command say if you just run it?

LT does not have the option to publish to plotter, only to DWF, when you run the publish command.

However, you can print multiple layouts from the same drawing by selecting the layouts, right clicking and hitting the publish option (as stated above).

If I go to the File menu and press Publish, it starts normally, I suppose. It displays a list of the current sheets, I can modify the page setup, but I only have the option to "Publish to" DWF file.
If I select multiple layouts, and then right-click and select Publish selected layouts, I get an option to Publish to Plotter named in page setup.
It works this way, but I wish it would have worked if I just pressed publish.

Thanks, Brenda.
I viewed your post after I replied to rkmcswain. Now I know for sure that I have to select all the layouts, and then publish them all.
