Aug 28, 2015  Batch Plot or Publish in AutoCAD 2014. August 28, 2015 15:30. By Justin Doughty. The Batch plot or Publish command is very useful when producing prints of multiple drawings, which most users are familiar with. However when it comes to publishing multiple drawings, all with the same page setup, this is where more steps are. Save Time and Money, use Multi-Batch to Batch AutoCAD & AutoCAD LT Drawings Now! Compatible with all versions of AutoCAD® and AutoCAD LT including the latest 2020 and LT 2020 release. Are you tired of repeating the same tasks on multiple drawings or staying late plotting to meet a deadline. Batch plot serves to print multiple layouts, but you want to use batch plot to print mutiple 'drawing' in a single layout? You should use a individual layout for a single printable drawing ( basically every layout is a single page), to print multiple drawing from a single layout you would have to change your print window between plots and that has to be done manually, so no batch plot. Autodesk has the batch plot function in AutoCAD and other options in other products, such as the AEProject command in AutoCAD Electrical. With this, a widely known Visual Basic program, included in the full install of AutoCAD, going by the name of EBatchP, is another quick and easy way to get such jobs done.

I'm using AutoCAD 2015, and I run into this all the time. I'm given a group of DWG drawings, and I want to plot them into one monochrome PDF, but they do not have monochrome.ctb selected as the plot style. Is there any way in Batch Plot to publish to PDF using monochrome without editing the individual DWG files? If not, is there a way to edit the page setup of all the drawings together as a group?

After playing around with it for a while, this seems to work:

  1. In the Batch Plot dialog, add all the drawings/sheets you want to include:

In the picture above, you can see that different drawings have different default Page Setups. None of these drawings have a page setup I can use.

  1. Select the first drawing, and under Page Setup, select 'Import..'

How To Do Batch Plot In Autocad 2015

  1. Choose a DWG file that does contain a page setup you like. In my case, I'm looking for one that will plot the Extents of the model using the monochrome.ctb plot style.

  2. Your imported Page Setups are now available in the list. Select the one you want. In my case, I'm choosing the one called 'Imported: 11x17'.

  1. Select this Page Setup for each drawing. You can select all the sheets at once (Ctrl-A, or Shift-Click) and then choose a page setup.

  2. Save the Sheet List. This will preserve your imported Page Setup for the entire list, so you won't need to do these steps in the future for these drawings.

  3. Click the Publish button to plot the drawings.

This procedure doesn't make any changes to the DWG files. In the future, you can load the Sheet List, and the imported Page Setups will still be selected.
