Accessing the publish options menu and output settings

00:03

If you don't already have a new drawing, open,

00:05

click the new button in the start tab and accept the default

00:09

ACAD dot DWT template.

00:11

We're going to be working with an existing DST sheet set file

00:15

that is included in your dataset.

00:17

Click on the application menu, then hover over open,

00:21

click on sheets set and navigate to the dataset folder containing civil

00:25

project dot DST.

00:26

Select it, then click on open

00:29

using the various publishing options.

00:31

You can publish the entire set subsets, selected drawings,

00:35

name selections or just a single sheet.

00:38

We'll start with the top level sheet set.

00:40

So right, click on it, then expand the published flyout menu.

00:45

By the way,

00:45

we'll be doing this a lot in the course of this video as the menu structure goes away.

00:50

Once one of its tools is accessed

00:52

and since we don't want to take a chance that we might

00:55

accidentally send up to 17 files to your plotter or printer,

00:59

I'll be showing you various interface dialogues,

01:01

then we'll be canceling out of most of them.

01:04

OK. Back to the published menu.

01:06

You can publish to AD W FX or the legacy DW F format

01:11

A PDF or directly to a plotter or printer.

01:15

Notice that the publish using page setup override is grayed out.

01:19

The middle section offers some options such as

01:21

adding a plot stamp or publishing in reverse order

01:25

plus, there's an option to edit subset and sheet published settings.

01:28

Let's click on that option.

01:30

The published sheets, dialogue will be displayed.

01:33

This is where you can select or deselect any file, any subset

01:37

or the entire set to be published or not.

01:40

As you can see,

01:42

it's another good use of subsets and you can easily

01:44

include or exclude an entire group with one click.

01:48

I don't want to change anything.

01:49

So I'll click on the cancel button,

01:52

right. Click on the top level again

01:54

and return to the publish options. Menu.

01:56

The bottom section lets you manage various settings

01:59

again. We don't have a page set up, override file defined yet.

02:03

So we'll move on to the last three for now.

02:06

Let's click on the DW

02:08

F publish options.

02:10

The DW F options dialogue will be displayed.

02:13

This is where you can set your D WF options for the selected part of the sheet set.

02:17

In this case, it's the entire set.

02:20

Remember though everything we see here can also

02:22

be applied to subsets or individual files.

02:25

I'll click on cancel to exit.

02:28

Navigate back to the publish options, menu from the top level.

02:32

Next we'll click on the PDF options.

02:34

Of course, the PDF options box will appear

02:37

where you can define the location to be written to

02:39

prompts quality and what data to include.

02:43

Again, I'll exit with the cancel button

02:46

and again, let's navigate back to the publish options.

02:50

The last entry will call up the published dialogue for you.

02:53

Some people have used this interface for years and prefer continuing to use it.

02:57

Even after they began using the sheet set manager,

03:00

it's pre populated for you based on your current selection in the sheet set.

03:04

And again, I'll cancel to exit.
