Publish How-to is Needed: Defining A Single Page Setup Source File Folder

Clint2U

Currently, it appears that in the initial Publish>Page Setup>Import action, BricsCAD imports Page Setups from the current job folder.

We prefer to use a single template file. This file contains all company-standard page setups and is stored in a specific folder.

We are investigating settings or even a coded solution that redirects BricsCAD Publish>Page Setup> Import action to this specific folder regardless of the job.

Any insights are appreciated!

Thanks,

If they are publishing drawings created by your own organisation, why are you overriding print settings? Better to have the correct page setup available in your default template(s).

You can use -PSETUPIN to import named pagesetups from one drawing to another. This can be used to pull a page setup from a central file.

You can use the -PLOT command to assign as page setup to a layout.

The -PUBLISH command works from .DSD files. You could create a program to create these dynamically to suit your requirements.
