This app for Autodesk® AutoCAD® simplifies the process of publishing (plotting) sets of drawings to DWF and/or PDF.

This plugin can be used with AutoCAD to simplify the process of publishing sets of drawings to DWF and/or PDF. It runs as a command within AutoCAD - as opposed to a separate executable - and uses a separate executable to monitor AutoCAD's health and restart it, as needed.

The status of the batch publishing operation is stored on disk, allowing it to pick up from where it left off and also for any failed documents to be retried without starting from scratch. A setting is available only to publish drawings that have been modified since they were last published, making it easier to publish sets of documents regularly.

For more about this app see our JTB Batch Plot page.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

If AutoCAD is restarted, the batch publishes process should continue after the "failed" drawing. It is possible to configure individual drawings, specifying whether to publish individual layouts or not. It is possible to ignore all the model-space sheets of the included drawings.

You can also choose to publish only drawings that have been modified since they were last published, streamlining regular publishing operations. After the configuration dialog has been dismissed with the "Done" button, "Publish" will launch the operation itself. At this point, two dialogs will be launched (as well as any dialogs AutoCAD needs during individual publish operations). The first is a status dialog, showing the list of drawings found in the source folder and their individual publishing status. The second dialog is an external "regulator" application, which monitors AutoCAD's status and restarts if it takes longer to publish a drawing than the specified timeout.

Once completed it's possible to use the status dialog to "Retry" the publishing process on any failed drawings. Otherwise, the dialog can simply be closed with "Done": a log file will be found in each of the target folders describing the results of the batch publish.
