Publishing problems

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've been trying to use publisher to set up final plot files.
(14 sheets)
I have my publisher set set up in navigator, all my plot wishes,
including save the files and where to save them. I want to save the entire set so when I need to plot another set, I won't have to open archicad,
I'll just send them to the plotter with a print utility program.

If I choose to publish the entire set, (with save) it seems to publish them with the same name and just overwrite the same file. I was hoping that this one file might have all 14 plots in it but it only plots one of the 14 sheets. I tried selecting all the items from navigator and that did not work either.

I have had to resort to publishing each individual sheet (selected item)
one after the other (slow).

Am I missing something here? Or is this a short coming of publisher?

I'm running archicad 10, windows xp pro, dual opterons, 2 gig meg,
nvidia 3400?, and a hewlett packard design jet 500 (next time I think I will buy a different make of plotter, lots of problems)

Thanks,
Jack


If I publish the selected items or the set and send it to the plotter,
it works fine.

In the Navigator/Organizer's Plot Setup, hit the Select... button in the Spool Folder area. In the Plot Settings, select Spool Folder in the Destination area.
