On the Options tab of the Automatic drawing generation dialog, you can specify various parameters, including printout naming and options for saving.
Under Names of printouts, you can select a method of defining names of files and layouts. A printout name may be identical to the position name or you can specify a prefix for the printout name. Also, you can specify a page number from which the printout numbering will start.
Under Create documents, If Delete existing documents is selected, all documents with the specified name included in the existing printouts will be deleted when drawings are generated.
Under Saving options, specify parameters:
- Selecting Generate files enables selection of a folder where DWG files containing single printouts will be located (if Overwrite existing files is selected, all existing files will be replaced when drawings are generated).
- Select Print to output the file to a plotter.
- Select an available style from the Table of printout styles.
If Overwrite existing files without confirmation is selected, files located in a selected folder will be replaced with newly generated files.
If you select Insert projection planes into printouts, viewports will be inserted into printouts. If the option is not selected, blocks will be inserted into printouts.
Select Start distributed work in order to divide a project into several parts (distributed work on a document); it ensures reduction of size of a file containing project data (quicker loading of a *.dwg file).
If the Skip elements without machining option is selected, elements without machining are not presented on printouts.
