Publishing provides a streamlined alternative to plotting multiple drawings by providing compressed representations of drawings in a file that is easy to view and distribute.
From the Project Manager, you can easily publish an entire project, a group of a layouts, or a single layout. It is quicker to publish a project in the Project Manager rather than using the Batch Publish dialog box to add drawings individually and then publish them as a single set.
When you publish from the Project Manager, you can publish an electronic sheet set by publishing to a PDF file, or you can publish a paper set by publishing to the plotter named in the page setup that is associated with each layout. You can also publish your projects using a page setup that is saved in the page setup overrides drawing template (DWT) file associated with the project. This page setup overrides the current page setup settings for the individual publish job.
