Try this:

What makes you afraid it won't run?  Are you using AutoCAD LT that can't use AutoLisp (your info lists AutoCAD without any elaboration)?

Thank you for your reply.

Our drawings are all single layered. They dont have any xref's in them.

I'm going to try your solution, i'm afraid the .lsp file won't run on our programs.

PS: The link you mentioned redirects to this post...

You may be able to use BlockChart.lsp with its BC command, available >here<.  It goes from lower left in horizontal rows, and builds upward from there, but could be modified to do the sequence you describe instead, and to space things farther apart than it does [you can do that yourself by changing the 1 value assigned to the 'space' variable], if it otherwise does what you want.  It needs you to have all those drawings in one folder, with no other drawing files in that folder, and the current drawing limits need to be wide enough in the X direction for a reasonable number of them to make a row, or the whole collection will be stacked in one tall column.

But I do wonder:  do any of your drawings have Xref's in them?  I can imagine that being a problem....

Thank you for the quick reply!

There isn't a predefined size and the 12 sheets is an example, normally is 30+ files in the same sheet.

This is a client requirement, he wants a single sheet with all the drawings in it...

This is a finished example of what the client wants, done manually:


Thank you in advance for your help!

And just how big is the "single" sheet that will hold all twelve drawings?

Hello all!

I'm new to this forum and what led me here was my new job as a CAD Designer!  Smile

I have a work in hands where i need to take multiple DWG files and create a master one where all of them are displayed in a single sheet, side by side in 10 rows filled from top to bottom, left to right.

I added a image of what is intended:

If i do this manually it takes a lot of time, so i seek your help, asking if you know any program that does this job automatically.

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards!
