Batch Collate
Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2021 11:53 am
I know this has been brought up before https://www.datacad.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16738&p=78635&hilit=collate#p78635. But I want to bring it to the surface again today. I had to print a few sets with many pages, and it stinks that if I need (4) sets, it will print each page 4 times, before moving on to the next page when doing batch printing.
I understand that you can print to PDF and that would allow you to then merge the PDF into one. But I have never found the PDF's to carry the line weights like I would want them to. (I am using version 20 of DataCAD and using Adobe for the PDF's and merging). Maybe its a setting I am not doing correctly. Either way, I would prefer not to have to add in the extra couple steps if I don't have to. I saw version 22 allows for the PDF, but not having tested it out, I don't know if the line weights are carrying through as accurately as when I print. If someone can show me, that would be great.
I think.... no, I know, I would buy the next version of DataCAD that has this feature, just for the feature. Guarantee it will pay for itself within a month or two of not having to rearrange all the sheets.
