Batch Plot Files and Folders

The batch plotting utility allows you to plot directly from a vault. Use the Plot Manager dialog to build and manage large plot lists and to submit any number of plot jobs to a plotter or printer. The progress of submitted jobs is tracked using the Plot Monitor dialog. CAD files, Microsoft Office files, text files, and any other file type stored in the vault can be added to a plot list. Individual sheets from file formats that support sheets can be added to the list as well.

 Access the Plot Manager dialog box by performing any of these steps:

1. Select File Plot. The Plot Manager dialog is displayed with an empty plot list.
2. Click Plot in the main toolbar.
3. Select a folder or file(s) from the main grid or any of the main view tabs and click Plot in the main toolbar. The selected folder or file(s) are automatically added for plotting.
   NoteThe leading revision is added for plotting unless a specific revision is selected from the History, Uses, or Where Used tab. A specific revision can also be selected from Searches.
4. In the Plot Manager dialog box, click the Add drop-down and then select files, folders, items , or related sheets to add to the plot list.
