guys you have any idea on how to batch plot multiple files to pdf and batch date in one go?
tried using some lisp but have no luck.....ideas and suggestions are highly appreciated. thnx

You can batch plot using the PUBLISH command. PUBLISH includes an option to use the internal PDF printer. To include the plot date you can place a FIELD on your drawings, which is set to display the plot date.

thanks, i had it dry run and worked. but im having a bit of difficulty and i noticed that it only works if drawings are set on the layout. Some of the drawings that im working are set to the model space..any recommendations?

PUBLISH has an 'include' dropdown. From the dropdown you can select Layout, Model, or both.
