Access Method
Command entry: -publish
Summary
The Command prompt version of PUBLISH provides an interface for publishing
drawing sheets that can be controlled by a script. It also provides a simplified
method for regenerating DWF or DWFx files or plotted output from existing
DSD files.
With the FILEDIA system variable set to 0 (or if you are running a script or
other automation), enter -publish or +publish at the Command prompt. The
following prompt is displayed:
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Enter name of sheet list <path file name.dsd>: Press ENTER for the current drawing
or enter the sheet list name
NOTE The bracketed text <DSD file name> contains the name of the DSD file
used when this command was last run. The bracketed text area is blank if no
previous name exists. If you enter a tilde (~) for the file name, the standard file
selection dialog box is displayed regardless of the FILEDEA setting.
The file name is validated and the list of sheets is loaded.
When -PLOT, PLOT, -PUBLISH, and PUBLISH are used in a script (SCR file),
the BACKGROUNDPLOT system variable value is ignored, and -PLOT, PLOT,
-PUBLISH, and PUBLISH are processed in the foreground.
Once the publish job starts, each drawing sheet name is listed along with an
appropriate message. Drawing sheets not found or not initialized are indicated
with an error message.
