Hi,
I have a a lot of DWG drawing files which contains multiple frames (with individual drawings and viewports) composed as an array in the paperspace, all these frames are in one single layout.
There is a way to plot them fast?
Thanks.

You have a single layout with multiple viewports and you want to plot each viewport separately?  Is that correct?

Yes. single layout with multiple A3 page formats (one next to eachother) in this layout.
I'm searching for a fast way or to move them to separate layouts in order to publish them to pdf, or to print them directly to pdf without manualy take PLOT->WINDOW....etc.
Thank you.

P.S. If the freeware PlotDWGarr + LayDWGarr will genarate diferent layouts for the paperspace it will be perfect. because I have the viewports (A3 formats) witch are presented as an array in the first layout.

The discussion referenced was about plotting from a paperspace layout.

I don't know why someone would deliberately create a mess like that, but I wouldn't fuss with trying to figure it out.  That could take longer than simply moving the individual setups to their own Layout tabs.  From there I'd batch plot the lot of them.
