Hi vdesai,

The plot scripts with A2K (and higher) are a little more complicated than they were in R14. There are a ton of settings that need to be adjusted depending on your personal setup.

Here is one that you can modify to suit your needs. Every line that begins with a ";" is a "comment", and is ignored by AutoCAD.

Depending on your settings, you might see different options in the prompts, so the script below is only a loose template.

The best way to go about things, is to type -PLOT at the YOUR AutoCAD command prompt and go through each step manually. Once completed, use the "Command Capture" tool in Hurricane to capture all the commands.

Check these links out...

Hi Admin,

I already tried what you are suggesting but I am not able to print more than one drawing with this script. It does not quit the first drawing in the list and go to the second drawing.

Thanks,

Hi,

If you could respond with what is happening in your AutoCAD text window (F2 in AutoCAD), then I can help you further. Sometimes an extra carriage return, or space can throw the script off... you must debug using AutoCAD F2. (Please respond with your text windows contents)

Also, please double-check your SETTINGS tab in Hurricane. Make sure it has the SDI variables set appropriately. (Please see attachment)

The PLOT scripts take a few tries to get going, as there are many options that are specific to your particular system/settings/etc.

Regards,
Bill
