Publishing Multiple Layouts
In AutoCAD terminology, you plot a single layout or view one or more times. The
terms publishing and batch plotting are interchangeable and refer to assigning
several layouts or views to plot in sequence one or more times. In this exercise,
you will publish all your layouts at one time.
1. Open the A-100.dwg sheet file, select the Output tab, and then click
the Batch Plot button in the Plot panel. You may also choose the
Publish option from the Application menu, or enter PUBLISH ↵ , to
open the Publish dialog box (see Figure 15.34). This shows all the
layouts, including model space for all open drawings.
2. You don't want to plot the objects from model space, so select the Model
layout in the Sheet Name list and then click the Remove Sheets button.
3. To prevent the Model sheet from automatically being added in the
future, right-click, and then uncheck the Include Model When Adding
Sheets option in the context menu.
In the Page Setup column, you can see that all the layouts are set
to <Default:DWFX-8H11>. This indicates that all the layouts will use
the original page setup designated when the first layout, Cabin Floor
Plan, was created. Remember, the other layouts were copied from
this original layout.
