Translating a Layout Book into a set of .dwg plot files

Anonymous

Translating a Layout Book into a set of .dwg plot files... Although this is discussed in AC9, and was do-able in 8.1, I have yet to be successful in AC9. Am I missing something? Must each sheet now be done individually?

Are you trying to create dwg's or plt's? Either way, you should still be able to use a Publishing Set in PlotMaker to create sets of each. This way you can do the entire book (or any part of it) in one go, although each sheet will produce an individual file.

Just go to File>Publisher>Publish... clone the subset or entire book, set the View Set Publishing Properties, any Plotting Setup and then Publish.

Cheers,

As Link asked:

Saving to DWGs or plotting to file, thereby creating PLTs?

The answer in both cases is Publisher.

Try opening ArchiCAD help, go to Publishing view sets
