A small trick for printing in AutoCAD in one click

FAQ

What is this for? for printing in PDF fron Autocad in one click. What you need? A1_plot.lsp, you can donwload it from my github (https://github.com/javipajaro/A1_plot).

Deployment:

Save the A1_plot.lsp file in a local folder. I suggest to create a folder called cadTools for future uses. But you can save the file in any location in your computer. Open the file with a text editor code or Notepad in case you do not have any; look for “acad.ctb” and change for your own plot style name. And save changes.

Open autocad, type at the command line APPLOAD & enter for loading the script in your autocad sessions automatically.

You need to add the folder to the “Trusted Locations” list; type at the autocad command line OPTIONS & enter.

Congrats, now you are ready to get your PDF in one shoot!

Close autocad, open the dwg and go to the Layout you are going to plot, and in the command line type A1 or a1 and enter… magic is happening…done!.

You can find your PDF at same location as your DWG is.
