So, I have a customer coming from plotbase and the 480W.  He had the .dwg option with the plotbase controller.  In order to batch print a set of .dwg's with Plotbase, they would send the drawings to the plotbase server and then merge them on the server and the print off sets .  They were not using the ratio plotclient.

 

We've now installed plotoworks and my SE is telling them that they must .pdf every drawing and then gather them in plotworks client to batch print sets.  Alas, my customer is not happy with this new workflow.  

 

Is there a better way, can't you just print the file as a .plt and save it to a folder and then print your sets??  As far as I see it, it takes just as much time to send the.dwg's to the ratio plotbase server arrange them and then tell them to print as it would to plotoworks do it.

 

Has anyone else had this happen with a customer and if so what was your solution?

Art,

Sounds like you have an old school customer here.

I have around 450 large format digital printers in the field 95% of which use AutoCAD and not one of them batch print dwg. files.

What version of AutoCAD does he have?

The reason I ask is most of the newer versions allow you to batch publish to pdf or dwf.
