ArchiCad 10 Layout to PDF

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a problem with printing layouts from ArchiCad 10. The new version has incorporated Plotmaker. In version 9 one could save the layouts as Plot files to Plotmaker and then in Plotmaker there was a preference in the print command that allowed you to print the entire layout book, or save it as one PDF file. In ArchiCad 10 I can only save or print as a series of indivdual PDF files. As much as I hated Plotmaker, (on OS X it tended to crash everytime I used it), this one feature was great.

Am I missing something?

If I am understanding your problem correctly, you can publish PDF to a single file. In Organiser, create (or drag) a folder with the layouts you wish to publish into your publisher sets side, select the folder and change format to PDF, click on the "Merge to one PDF file" button.

A separate issue but slightly related, the "print entire layout book" option has gone, but you can select all the layouts you want and "print selected layouts" from the print dialogue.
