Hello everyone.
Scenario:
I have to plot 200 ~ 300 Models from Cel-Libraries into one PDF. Printorganizer does this job. I have a validated list in the form “File-name Model-name”
The workflow:
Source Snipset:
For i = 0 To nAnzahl CadInputQueue.SendKeyin "printorganizer add model " + asLines(i) Next i
The problem:
It is a timing problem. In V8 the creation of the pSet file takes some moments, and then the plottings started. In CE the creation of the pSet file takes nearly as long as the plotting itself. And we are here talking about hours! (Environment contains VPN, etc. this is multiplying the problem).
My Guess:
I found out, the plotorganizer opens each file and checks the existents of file and model after every keyin.
My Question:
Is there any possibility to create the pSet file faster?
Thanks a lot!
The best result you'll get when using keyins with printorganizer is through a keyin script. I know the help document says you can use one step keyin (i.e. in the keyin window or what your vba code does) but that's just rubbish because one step keyins for printorganizer only work half of the time. So your best bet is to use vba to create a printorganizer keyin script, then execute that script.
Hi Tuan Le,
thanks for the interesting hint. I will keep it in mind, but I could not test it, because the print-speed is now satisfying.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Volker Hüfner
