I have had troblem publishing multiple plots to dwf format. Publishing a single file to dwf does not seem to be an issue, however when I try to publishing multiple files it returns an error that the device cannot be found. I have checked my pathing to and made sure my devices are all there and they seem fine. I would also like the abiltiy to plot multilple plots to a single dwf file. I thought this could be done but am unable to accompolish this either. Any hints or references for directions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Bill,
If you are going to publish multi-page dwfs, then I would suggest using the sheet set manager as the publishing engine; just for convenience.
Once the sheet set is open, right click on the sheet set filename, within the Sheet Set Manager Tool Palette, look for "Sheet Set Publish Options". Within that Dialog Box, there is a setting which should read - DWF Type ---> Multi-sheet DWF; if not change it by selecting the text and scrolling down. Additional settings may be altered as your needs dictate.
I hope this helps.

I second this, the sheet set manager makes it much easier to use.

Sounds a daft question but is it only with dwf format, due you get the same problem when you try to either plot to a printer or pdf?

Whenever I have a problem printing out a dwf I go through my layout tabs a remake a few of them. It is a pain, but it usually fixes any issues.

It only seems to happen when I plot to dwf format.

Thanks for the idea....I still think there must be a fix for this issue that would be easier.
