Batch Printing

The Batch Print command provides a convenient way of printing a set of sheet layers and/or saved views in a drawing file.

To print a batch of sheet layers and/or saved views in the current file:

1.	Select File > Batch Print.

The Batch Print dialog box opens.

 

Parameter	Description
Sheets and Views in the Document	Lists the sheet layers and saved views present in the current file
Sheets and Views to Print	Lists the sheet layers/saved views to be printed; to change the list order, use the cursor to drag and drop the items to move in the # column. Click Color for each item to toggle between color and black and white printing.
Add	Adds one or more selected item(s) from the file list to the end of the print list
Add All	Adds all sheet layers/saved views in the file list to the end of the print list
Remove	Removes one or more selected item(s) from the print list
Remove All	Removes all sheet layers and saved views from the print list
Today’s Issue	Selects for printing only sheet layers that have been marked as today’s issue by the Issue Manager
Saved Set	Restores a previously-saved list for printing
Save a Set	Saves the current print set as a file that can be restored later

2.	Click Print to send the selected sheet layers and/or saved views to the printer.

If viewports require updating before printing, the Out of Date Viewports dialog box opens for each sheet layer with out-of-date viewports. Specify whether or not to update all the drawing viewports or all printed viewports.

3.

Click OK.

The Printer Setup (Macintosh) or Print (Windows) dialog box opens; specify the print setup to use. Sheet layers use the printer setup and print area specified in the Organization dialog box. For more information on configuring print options, see Printing a File.
