Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to remove the model/layout name when printing drawings to PDF?

For years I've removing this prefix manually.

Please help out if you know the solution.

Many thanks.

Eric

    Hi Eric,

    Yes the BricsCAD default is somewhat limiting, it would be a nice enhancement to provide a options around naming plot files since printing to PDF is likely the most common way that most print.

    Some options I'm aware of:

    • Use multi-sheet option in PUBLISH, this allows you to specify a filename.
    • Use SHEETSETS, depending on how you print, BricsCAD will use sheetset field names for the filename.
    • Use -PLOT to allow file name entry from the command line. This can be incorporated in with LISP to automate.
    • Use batch rename after print. Free Commander XE has a very good multirename command for file re-naming.

    Thanks Jason, I've tried the Commander XE multiname command. This would be the best solution in my scenario.
