I want to be able to have two different ways to plot a drawing without having to go through the "setup", "scale", "pen table", "quick layout" routine every time.

What I want is one setting to plot the drawing at full scale with the heavier pen settings and one setting to plot it at half scale for in-office checking.

I tried the "multi-layout" function but it doesn't seem to save any settings and just uses what's currently selected.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks!

Actually, we're stuck here. Yes, there is a check plot
function, but this is only a small partial answer to your
question. Multiple plot settings would be helpful for
different uses. I've always had many output needs
and jumping between them has required changing the
settings in every file before plotting. Having a separate
plot setting just for batch plotting would be extremely
useful.

Hello Steve,

I would suggest the creation of several "Styles", that could be dynamicaly added to a drawing in each time we would need.

Styles that would cover Texts, Dimensions, Plotting and possibly several other settings.
This will be a good point for V12.

Thanks,
Miguel
