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 ....

So your not using sheets defined in sheet models, just model space and ref shapes or border shapes..... old school right?
