No need to cross your fingers before publish

When you go to publish an entire set of drawings (100 or more) do you get that little hesitant restraint to hit that nice big publish button? I admit, I do. Sometimes sending 100 or so plots to the wrong page setup could take you a good chunk of time out of your day to clear the spooler. Let alonE trying to explain to management why you just wasted 100 full size plots to the wrong paper size.

A nice little feature I use daily is the Publish sheet preview button. Once you gather your sheets into the publish dialog box, and apply your page setup to your sheets. You now can preview them, BEFORE you spool 100 sheets to your plotter. Simply select the sheet you want to preview, then in the publish dialog box & select the preview button on the publish toolbar on the left side.

Thanks, how long has that been there without me noticing?

Hey Robin, Pretty sure it's been there since 2005. But I think its way too small, and too easy to miss. I remember finding it by total accident when I went to add sheets and missed the add button.
