Hello there! since you're so popular I need your help. Here is my code and I need it to generate PDF only for it's job, like I have 50 pages and actually what I have here selects one page block (reads it's entity) and generates all the 50 pages, but I need to get PDF from like 25 of them not all of them! it needs to PDF ALL AT ONCE, page by page (with PDF Factory Pro Printer) Here it is : (defun c:epdf (/ ob ss bn mn mx) (vl-load-com) (setq cnt 0) (setq dir (getvar "dwgprefix")) (if (and (progn (initget "B") (setq ob (entsel "\nSelect Block/B for blockname: ")) (cond ((eq ob "B") (setq bn (getstring "\nEtner Block Name: ")) ) ((and (eq (type ob) 'LIST) (vlax-method-applicable-p (vlax-ename->vla-object (car ob)) 'getboundingbox ) ) (setq bn (cdr (assoc 2 (entget (car ob))))) ) ) ) (tblsearch "BLOCK" bn) bn (setq ss (ssget "_X" (list '(0 . "INSERT") '(410 . "Model") (cons 2 bn)) ) ) ) (progn (vla-zoomextents (vlax-get-acad-object)) (repeat (setq i (sslength ss)) (setq ML "Material-List") (setq cnt (1+ cnt)) (vla-getboundingbox (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ss (setq i (1- i)))) 'mn 'mx ) (command "plot" "yes" "model" "DWG To PDF.pc3" "ANSI A (8.50 x 11.00 Inches)" "inches" "LANDSCAPE" "no" "Window" (trans (vlax-safearray->list mn) 0 1) (trans (vlax-safearray->list mx) 0 1) "fit" "center" "yes" "monochrome.ctb" "yes" "As Displayed" (strcat dir "ML-" (itoa cnt) "-" (getvar "dwgname")) "no" "yes" "yes" "yes" ) (command ".delay" "750") ) ) (princ "\nNo Blocks Selected: ") ) (princ) )

Lee Mac wrote this awesome lisp routine to be able to select multiple objects and wblock block them out as separate drawings, which works great. My problem i'm having is the program that i'm using for my router was written in 2010 and won't except the 2013 file's and for some reason wblock won't except the autocad default when i run the lisp routine, it saves them to 2013. I was wondering if someone could help me with this i would really appreciate it.
