I want to print multiple drg sheets by selecting the option all sheets. It is possible if the sheets are in same size.


But I would like to print the sheets of variable sizes. Pls help me in this regard.


Thanks in advance.

I'm sure there is a way to do that with pro/toolkit. There is a work around you can make a mapkey for printing. We use a mapkey for printingmultiple sheets of differant sizes (we only use A, andB size).

Our borders are set up so when you fit the sreen in Proe it prints the correct paper size. You can see if yours is set the same way byrefitting the drawing to the screen. Than go to FILE, PRINT, you will have a print dialog box popup. select current and print. Then try the same using a differant size border. If this print ok the mapkey should work. When you create the mapkey start at sheet 1, start recording, refit the view, select FILE, PRINT dialog box will popup select current, select OK to print, Change to sheet 2 refit view, select FILE,PRINT dailog box will popup select current, select ok to print.stop record and save mapkey. When you run the mapkey it will pause at the selection of the OK button for the print hit OK and the mapkey will continue to run and change the sheet to 2 refit and pause at the selection of the OK button for the print hit OK. This should print 2 differant size drawings in the same file. Its not the best way to do it but it does work.
