Remember, it can only export multiple sheets if you have multiple layouts.
If you need to create a multiple sheets PDF from a DWG file, you can use EXPORTPDF. If you only need to create a single sheet PDF, you can just use plot or print command. You can choose one of above methods that work best for your situation. If you are using Sheet Set, you can also publish your entire sheet set or selected subset by using contextual menu. Publish command can be initiated application menu or typing PUBLISH then at command line. EXPORTPDF only allows you to create PDF from single file, multiple layout. The difference with using EXPORTPDF is you can create multi-sheet PDF from several drawing files. Publish command allows you to plot many of your drawing sheets at once. The last method is using publish command. If you activate the command in paper space, then you have option to export current layout only OR export all layouts in your drawing. But this only allow you to create single sheet PDF, just like plot method. If you want to create PDF from model space, you need to activate the command in model space. You don’t have to repeatedly plot your layouts. You also have option to create multiple PDF with single sheet or single PDF with multi-sheet inside it. The difference is, using this method you can plot all layouts in a drawing file to multi-sheet PDF. Using EXPORTPDFĮXPORTPDF options are similar to plotting. You can’t create a multi-sheet PDF using this method. If you don’t see this plotter in your plotter list, you can add DWG to PDF plotter manually using this method.ĪutoCAD will ask you for file name after you click OK.īecause this is similar to plotting, you only can plot to 1 PDF sheet at a time. If you are already familiar with plotting, then this shouldn’t be a problem for you.Īll you need to do is to change your plotter to DWG to PDF.pc3. You can plot your drawing just like you plot to paper. 
The basic method is by using plot command.
There are several methods that you can do in AutoCAD. I’m not sure why suddenly many people are trying to create PDF files this week. Somehow I got many questions about creating PDF from AutoCAD drawings.
