Print a panel book¶
Batch-print a dimensioned drawing set for the project’s panels.
A panel book is the printable drawing package for a project’s panels — each panel drawn to scale, ready to issue. Panel books are produced from Batch Utilities, which runs the selected operation across many panels at once.
The Batch Utilities dialog with the project’s panel list.¶
Steps¶
From the CV menu, open Batch Utilities.
In the panel list, select the panels to include. You can multi-select, and sort the list by Name or Date Modified.
Choose the Print Panel Book operation.
Run it. Each selected panel is opened, zoomed and centered to scale, and printed to your default AutoCAD printer, one after another.
Notes¶
Batch Utilities can also Print Revision History and Update Drawings (regenerate the panel drawings from their stored data) across the same selection.
To produce material quantities instead of drawings, see Generate a materials list.
The batch runs the panels sequentially; let it finish before starting another batch operation.
