Globel change of plot drivers

[John Windswept Design]

Is there a way to change the plot device for all sheets? Going in to each sheet before batch printing to check if it is using the right device is very time consuming.

Which OS?

The general answer is that you have to do Page Setup for each individual Sheet, but you select the printer/plotter from the Print Dialog box--which is global for the print session. But if Page Setup isn't correct for the desired plotter. . .well, you can see what has to happen.

For this reason, we build our plansets using 11x17 Page Setup. That way "check prints" are fairly inexpensive and quick. When the set is complete, we create a .pdf version of the planset, gather all the sheets together in a "binder", and then print the final plans at full size from the .pdf set. It's much easier to change sizes/plotters for the whole document in Acrobat than in VW.

Good luck,
