Question: Will future versions of AECOsim Building Designer V8i support Batch Print job set (.job) files? Answer: Batch Print will not be supported in future versions of AECOsim Building Designer V8i. The functionality in Batch Print has been replaced by Print Organizer. Existing Batch Print job set (.job) files can be imported to Print Organizer. For more information on Print Organizer please refer to the help. This was originally announced in AECOsim Building Designer Select Series 4 version 08.11.09.593 Print Organizer Replaces Batch Print Functionality Print Organizer provides a seamless upgrade for Batch Print users. Legacy data created for the Batch Print utility such as pen tables and job set files are supported in Print Organizer. Print Organizer's File > Open menu item can open a print set (.pset) file or a job set (.job) file. When Print Organizer opens a job set file, each corresponding model in the job set is converted to a print definition. The print definition properties are obtained from the print specifications stored in Batch Print's batchplt.spc file. Therefore, it is necessary to have access to the batchplt.spc file when initially opening a job set file in Print Organizer. After a job set file is imported into Print Organizer, you can apply a print style, use the multi-edit feature, or in-place editing to individually set print preferences per item as opposed to Batch Print's existing per set attributes.
