Create a Paper or Plot File Drawing Set
You can publish a drawing set to a plotter or plot file.
You can assemble drawing sheets into a customized drawing set and publish
the sheets to the plotter named in the page setup specified for each sheet. If
the plot device named in the page setup is a paper plotter, then your output
will be a paper drawing set.
If the plotter is configured to plot to a file, the sheets are saved to files in the
plot file location specified in the Publish Options dialog box. Each drawing
sheet's plot file is saved with the same name as the sheet, with the appropriate
file extension for the file (for example, .plt, .jpg, or .bmp). The default location
can be changed in the Options dialog box, Plot and Publish tab, under Plot
to File.
To publish multiple layouts
1 Hold the Shift key down and click to select the layout tabs.
