Batch Plot Manager Pro

Batch Plot Manager Pro

Manage plotting across layout tabs and multiple DWG files from one organized dialog. This AutoLISP + DCL utility helps you queue drawings, select sheets, and track plot-to-file results.

Features include:

• Current-drawing batches: Plot all paper-space layouts or selected layout tabs.
• Multiple-DWG queues: Add drawings individually or import DWGs from a folder.
• Layout-name matching: Plot selected layout names across queued drawings.
• Saved plot settings: Use each layout’s configured device, paper size, scale, orientation, and plot style.
• PDF or PLT output: Create separate sheet files using a compatible configured plot-to-file driver.
• CSV logs: Record created, skipped, and failed sheets.
• Duplicate-safe filenames: Preserve existing output files.
• Read-only processing: Newly opened DWGs are opened read-only and closed without saving.

Your download includes:

• AutoLISP program (.LSP)
• Dialog interface (.DCL)
• Illustrated DCL preview
• Installation and operating instructions
• Guidance for combining PDF sheets with PDF24

Compatibility: Requires Windows AutoCAD with Visual LISP and ActiveX support. Designed using legacy APIs for AutoCAD 2002; runtime and plot-driver compatibility have not yet been verified. Test on copied drawings before production use.

PDF output requires a compatible PDF-to-file driver. The program creates separate sheet files; PDF merging is completed afterward. No PDF driver or PDF24 installer is included.
