To Publish a Sheet Set to a DWF, DWFx, or Plot File

From the Sheet Set Manager, you can easily publish an entire sheet set, a subset of a sheet set, or a single sheet. It is quicker to publish a sheet set in the Sheet Set Manager rather than using the Publish dialog box.

  1. Click View tab Palettes panel Sheet Set Manager. Find
  2. In the Sheet Set Manager, under Sheets, select a sheet set, subset, or sheet.
  3. In the upper-right corner of the Sheet Set Manager, click the Publish button.
    Note: Sheet sets cannot contain 3D DWF (or 3D DWFx) entries.
  4. From the flyout menu, choose an output:
    • Publish to DWF
    • Publish to DWFx
    • Publish to Plotter

    If you have background publishing enabled, the animated plotter icon on the right side of the status bar indicates that the publish job is in progress. Right-click this icon for options to view the DWF file or to view information about the publish job.

    Tip: Publishing performance can be improved by disabling background publishing. Ensure that background publishing is not selected in the Plot and Publish tab (Tools Options), and in the Publish Controls group.
