Can't Utilize Publish Tool outside of current file

[crabe]

When using "publish" command on files outside of current file, the command will not plot specified sheets.

They seem to get lost and are not on the plot record.

Anyone else with this problem?

Hi

Are you applying Pape Setups within the Publish command to the Layouts you are attempting to Plot?

If no, give that a try.

Have a good one, Mike

Yes, I am applying page setups to the publish command.

Do I need to have these other files open as I use the publish command?

Simple answer - Nope! the Publish command should work just fine with drawing files that are currently closed.

Hmmm...

Still can't get it up and running correctly.

I'll keep working to find a solution.

Thanks!

See if the following thread helps (take note of all links found within)...

Is there any replacement for BatchPlot in Autocad 04 and 05? (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=4846)

I had this same problem and I turned off Background Publishing and it had no problems.
Now I just need to find out why background publishing isn't working.
