I understand that this can be done with a full version of AutoCAD, but I don't have access to that.  So is there a stream-line way to plot multiple layout tab to PLT's with LT?

Try Sheet Set Manager, please and set up viewport for print to PLT and then you can use print all of your drawings to PLT.PepaR2009-08-27 00:31:27

Sheet Set Manager or SSM is an unknown command in 08LT, so I guess its another example of LT vs. full.

Use the PUBLISH command. Older LT versions allowed to publish only to a multisheet DWF file but you can then plot DWF file at once.

Right, but the problem is that I'm trying to set up a way that people here in the office can plot drawings set, without having access to CAD at all.  We have the KIP 5000 Series plotter and we use the KIP Request software.  With that software they can just find my .plt files and plot from there.  But there's the problem; I spent the better part of the day making the .plt files.  With 04LT I was able to just batch plot to plt.  So do we know of an add-on or anything that may help? everff19462009-08-27 17:50:15
