Overview:

dwgPlotX is an AutoCAD batch plot and script tool, which is designed to make your AutoCAD sessions faster and more productive. It features an easy-to-use interface with sub-folder search, multiple folder selection, file filter and file list manager to enable you choose drawings in many ways. File/folder can be dragged and dropped onto the File view and important folders can be saved and recalled in Bookmarks. For full version, dwgPlotX features a script-free batch plotter, which operates on both dwg and dxf file types. All the plotting parameters like Plotter, Paper size, Plot Style table, Plot orientation and plot offset are automatically scanned from the system and made available for the user to choose - just like in AutoCAD. What to Plot (Display/Extents/Limits) and plotting scale can also be selected from the interface. You can also choose whether to plot layouts, the number of times each file to be plotted and the number of times the whole batch has to be repeated. All the selected settings eg. plotter,paper selection etc get saved so that you don't have to set them all over again. The program features a ScriptRunner interface to create, generate, save and run batch scripts. In AutoCAD, Scripts can be made to perform almost any kind of operation on drawings like plotting, purging, exporting etc, and dwgPlotX enhances their utility by running them on many files at a time. The ScriptRunner features Command Capture to script, line by line script runner for de-bugging, and Tags manager for inserting user and system tags to ease a successful script creation. ScriptRunner works as an AutoCAD LT batch plotter by using the PLOT.scr script that is bundled in. dwgPlotX also features a comprehensive batch file renaming utility to rename files of any kind, and a scheduler to preset script run time.
