Print style fence points by keyin ?

Hello,

Do you know if there is any way to set up the print style fence points by keyin or command in the print organizer ?

I use a batch process to setup the print organizer with the correct print definitions for each model.

Thanks and regards

Remy

    ok so they  dont  have  sheets  just  go back to old school

    mdl l batchplt.ma

    and  use the cell boundary  or title block  boundary  to define  plot shapes

    ...

    I also had to do this recently  but I did it in small batches

    I created a new file  for a batch then xrefed into it each drwg ( via drag and drop from windows explorer)  to be  plotted this way I could preview what they  were like and  what they  contained to use as a boundary then I batcht plotted from inside this file  some times I need to to make and copy a boundary polygon that was easy to make an array  to then attach each ref file, and  using windows explorer to bulk attach the drawings was cool and it let me  preview if they  were  portrait or landscape and I can zoom in through windows explorer and read the paper size text  and scale.. this helps too.... and using attach ref top lets  you place them nicely too.. it all takes time ..

    You might  consider  sending  off shore $1 per hour to re jig  or redo all your files  to be sheet models and  self ref into the sheet 

    I dont see how an vba would work perfectly as a lot of drafters leave junk outside the drawing sheet boundary ....
