print layers in succession

[tizitiz]

Good morning to all, my name is tiziano, I just signed up because I have a problem with autocad printing.
use autocad 2007 to make electric patterns, where each scheme has its own layer.
My problem is this.. when I have to print the first layer, I have to freeze all the others and give the press.. for the second layer I have to freeze the first and give the press.. and so on.. do this for 200 times it makes me miss a lot of time.. I saw that there are dvbs to print all layers in one shot only in succession. . But my real problem is that I have to leave some layers, like the cartiglio, always active. How can I do this quickly?

hello, you could create a doc script with visual basic.
in practice if I have understood well you have to turn off n layer except the paper, print, turn off other layers and print. Is that something like that?

 

[tizitiz]

Hello, thank you for responding!
Yes, exactly. es: I have 4 layers..(layer1, layer2, layer3, layer4), in layer1 there is the cartilage that in the printing phase you must see in all pages. then mold layer1 with layer2, then turn off layer2 and turn on layer3.. then mold layer1 with layer3 and so on.. I'd need something to speed up this process!

try to look . if I understand well it should be the solution x you.

Hello everyone, I have the same problem, can you propose me a script? thank you

 

[pluncake]

if you prepare 1 layout for each layer with only that active layer?
a little hard at first but I think you can recycle the file for the next jobs.
200 layers...? Holy mother I nightmare.

the problem is that I don't have the same name as layoers all the time, so I needed a batch that kept me fixed a layer and create a pdf per layer by activating one at a time the others

you can make reverse reasoning and use a script that turns off one at a time the layers and prints you in pdf, then repeat the code by turning off another layer and so on
then do the first printing with all active layers and the last with an active layer

thanks, do you have a script suitable for this function?

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

No. There is a excel in the forum that creates it. insert commands in cells and launch creation

Is this the link? thank you very much

thanks for the link, I downloaded the excel file but it turns out a bit laborious. I would need a script that, after launching it opens the printer settings to define the print window and printer. After that he asks the layers that must remain on during the press and then print in pdf all the remaining layers by activating one at a time. Is there someone who could please help me? Thank you very much for your help.

I can't believe it! This is a record! you answered after more than two years!

 

[rubinho69]

That's right, I'm a record player.

Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!! ! !
It's been committed two years to turn on and off layers!
give it a hand, planner otherwise runs the risk of retiring before withdrawing prints from the printer.
But I recommend: a script that does all of him, not laborious things.
something that opens, sets him, lights up, prints, closes, opens, sets him, lights up, prints, turns off.. etc.
I think I have it somewhere in my files... His name is ♪.scr.
I also had one named coccammunnatebbuon.scr, but I erased it because it was too long to write.

That's crazy.

Thanks, guys. as soon as you can turn the file or link to me.

crystal when sending the file add a bottle of red, but of the good one I recommend; )

That's very feasible with a script.
in the excel file find examples of printer setting, you need to adapt them to your needs.
the operation of the script is to launch in sequence the commands that would be compiled in the command line.
then what you have to do is locate the commands to launch for the printing phase; to do this instead of activate the setup window use the command _ Print that allows you to insert the commands manually and then identify them and then insert them into excel.
same thing for layer management.
fill out the list for layer management and check that it works
fill out the print list and check that it works
fill out all the list and then repeat it for n layer.

if you have problems posting the list specifying where it crashes and gives you a hand
