Description: It would be nice if the plotting would be improved. Right now when you do a single plot, you have to wait until the plot is done. This can be very time consuming. It would be nice to have the ability to keep selecting a plot and not have to wait until that plot is completed.
How Used: Let say, you are working on a job and you have to plot out several different part of that job. The total you have to plot is 15 different areas in that job. You select plot and use the window to select the plot area. I would like to use Publish but, using publish will not work for the job. Instead of taking 15 - 20 minutes to plot out all 15 areas by having to wait for one plot is sent to finish. By having the ability to select, all 15 right after another would take around 4 minutes.
The way that this could be accomplished it to have a check box in the dialog box to say Publish. This would be only allowed when using window to select the print area. The way this would work would be similar to the Publish printing. What you would do is to select the page setup, Printer/plotter, Plot Style Table, paper size etc. Now you would go and window all the areas you want to plot. After you selected all the areas, it would then publish.
