To Create a New Published Property List (PPL)

Use this procedure to create a new, Published Property List (PPL). The Published Property List specifies which property set definitions in a DWG file will be exported to DWF or DWFx, provided the property set definition has been added to objects or styles in the drawing.

  1. Click Publish AEC DWF Publishing Options.
  2. In the AEC DWF Publishing Options dialog box, click New.
  3. Browse for the folder in which you want to save the new PPL file, and enter a name for the new PPL file.
  4. Click Save.

    The new PPL file is opened in the AEC DWF Publishing Options dialog box. By default it does not contain any property set definitions.

  5. Click Add.

    By default the currently active drawing and all property set definitions in it are displayed.

  6. If you want to add property set definitions from another drawing, click Browse to navigate to the desired file.
  7. Select all property set definitions that should be included in the new PPL either by selecting their check marks or by using the Select All button.
  8. If the PPL is complete, click OK.
  9. If you want to add more property set definitions to it, click Add again, and repeat step 6 - 7.
  10. Click OK twice.
