problem..
while publishing multiple layouts in plotmaker, how to change the paper size of several layouts at a time?

another one.. i'm using pdf printer, so i'd like to define the location where the layouts will be print. Pressing publish, it prints all layouts, and gives a notice that all done and good.. but where were those pdf files saved.. couldn't find anywhere...

1. In Publisher, "view set publishing properties" button
2. choose 'save files' from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner
3. click on 'Browse' and set the path to the folder of your choice.

I find it easier to set the path to a "Spool' folder on my desktop rather than change the destination whenever I print or plot. After printing or plotting I move the created files to their correct project folder.

Yes - change the Navigator View to Tree By Masters and you can drag and drop a whole bunch in one go.
