Pang59 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi, I need help. My AutoLISP works well in DWG To PDF but it comes out 1 file per 1 DWG. I want it to be the only PDF file. Can somebody help me with something? (I can't use third party programs) Thank you for your help. The examples are in my attachments.

BIGAL Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 You can join pdfs after creating them, I use Ghostscript. Its a free program. You can plot via lisp etc making a list of pdf's to join. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pang59 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thank you, but I don't want to use a third party program. Am I stuck with my computer problems that the company owns or should I change from -Plot to -Publish by creating a .DSD file first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resullins Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 My question is why do you want a LISP to do this? Why not literally just run PUBLISH? What you want already exists in CAD, there's no need to customize to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want already exists in CAD, there's no need to customize to get it. Publish in its generic form takes a few steps to set up and often my colleagus first want a set of hard copies to mess up , later they want single pdf's and five seconds later , nah , can you put 'm in a single pdf. That's why I have all options under a couple of buttons myself. Also I often have drawings coming from different sources and don't want have to do pagesetup first so I can imagine it can come in handy to be able to select a folder or a project file with drawing names with one click and with another say plot , pdf or publish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Rlx There is another post floating around how to write a publish file it may be at forums.autodesk. I use ghostscript and that works well to join, could do a multi dwg version join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NghiaK Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Instead of opening, how do I choose the drawing already open? Tks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
