Combining files during Batch plotting

Post by ADUP »

I can't get plot files to combine into one document. I use AutoCad. I used to be able to combine a number of plots into one document by doing a batch plot. I would select a number of "Layouts" then "Publish" them. They would form into the one file with each "Layout" (page, plan) forming a page of the documents.......How can I get this to happen again.

Please advise which of our products and specifically which version you are using - its obviously not the PDF-XChange Viewer ...

Also what Version of Windows/AutoCAD are in use ?
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

You can either set this permantley - in the Printer Preferences -> Save options (assuming you have the Standard or PRO versions) - or when you save to an existing file - you will be offered the option to Overwrite, Append or Insert to the existing file.

Or possibly you are using 'Acroplot' - which is a utilty provided by http://www.cadzation.com - one of our reseller's that also offers AutoCAD specific batch conversion products - if it is their product - I am afraid you will need to contact them direct for further assistance.

Hope that helps
