Batch Plot DWFs create empty DWFs

[jlandreville]

Bonjour!

I'm using a script with scriptpro to generate DWF files in batch but I have a problem. When I open these DWF files, I see nothing. I have to do a zoom extend to view the drawing correctly in the DWF viewer. When I generate the file manually, I don't have this problem.

In the script file, I import a page setup and then I plot the drawing in DWF file.

Thanks

Is the Page SEtup that you are importing
established as plotting the LAYOUT, or is
it extents, window or other?

I use 'Extents' and the driver is 'DWF Classic'

This then is the 'problem' change your process to be LAYOUT
not extents and you wont have to zoome extents to see the
plotted (DWF) output.
