Part 5 - Print A Series Of Layout Drawings By Publishing

As promised, I will now show you how to use Publish in batch layout printing.

Publish allows batch printing not only in Layout space but also in Model space. You can refer to the Publish content for the Model that I have presented in a book: " PROFESSIONAL AUTOCAD PRACTICE ".

The requirements for using Publish for Layout space are the same as for Sheet Set:

- Drawings must have the same Page Setup setting.

In short, you just do the same thing from step 1 to step 9 for me, particularly step 9 adds me an additional action that is to enter the information "Name of drawing" for the Title Block to be fully named. Skip stepping 10 because I do not need to set up Sheet Set Manager anymore. And step 11 instead of printing with Sheet Set, we print with Publish.

- Because Publish has no override type setting function, these Page Setup settings must be for the actual printer or PDF right from the start.

So, if you use Publish, you only have to go through 10 steps overall (including the Template file setup step)

PRACTICE: Print 2 drawings (Architecture + Structure) with Publish

- Open 2 drawing files at the same time

- Type the command PUBLISH ↙ to enter the interface of Publish command.
