     We have a fairly huge library of blocks for each discipline.  I need to print (8 1/2 x 11) these libraries with the block name in order to place them into our CAD manual for new hires.

  Anybody have a quick way to place these blocks onto a page and organize them for printing?  I know how to do this "manually" - I'm looking for something similar to the Microstation function allowing you to print the current library of cells ("blocks").

Thanks for the help,

	We have two free utilities for this: BLegend will draw a table of all blocks already inserted in a drawing. InsertBlks will insert all DWG files from a given folder in your drawing. See the Download page and the associated tips.

	Maybe you could write a script file that would open each block drawing, print it, close it (without saving) then go on to the next one. Or perhaps the PUBLISH command might work?
