Need A Lisp for Batch Plotting of Several Drawing Files

[Sameer Ahmed]

I'm working on a road project, i recently joined a new company , I got my Roadways Cross Sections in seperate Files , One Cross Section = One Drawing File ,
Having a Title Block in Each File , i have over hundred of Files.

I want a lisp routine that detects Title Block & Print Out All The Cross Sections (Title Block) from Modelspace.

Anyone please help me out, so that i can print out those so many files that has title block in modelspace.

Please reply as soon as possible.

@Sameer,
You don't need a lisp, just use the PUBLISH command. It allows you to specify a page setup for each file. You can even use it to create pdf's.

@shadashiindia770168,
The forum is working as normal. We just don't allow new users to post links because we get a lot of spammers that want to create a new user account just to post a link to their website. I made an adjustment to your account so that you could post a link now.

To PUBLISH the files, All Title block has to be same size and as i have mentioned i have over hundreds of Dwg files. i have a single x-section in each file. setting up each file is hard. That's why i asked about any lisp or software.

AutoCAD introduced Paper Space to make plotting a breese with release 11 in 1990 29 years ago. Then added multiple Paper Space layouts in 1999 to make it even easier. Worth considering.

For me I would get each dwg file and paste it into a new layout so one dwg with all cross sections.

This can be done pretty easy as you would just insert the cross section dwg into a new layout. I would use a script as easier than spending a lot of time writing code.

I use Word to edit the starting point file list of dwg names. It allows adding lines to a text file based on end of line in search/replace use ^p

layout
new

-insert dwgname 0,0 1 1 0
layout
new
….………..


To make the dwg list is a bit of old fashioned DOS just go to windows CMD line and change to correct directory then dir *.dwg /b >Dwglst.txt

Lee-mac.com has a scriptwriter.

You could set up a template with a page setup and then import that page setup into each dwg. Then PUBLISH will use the current page setup in each file. The import option is on the PAGESETUP dialog. After you get those files fixed, start all new dwgs from the template.
