What is the most current version of the Batch Plot Utility?
I'm using v1.0.0 that came with 2002 ( ADT3.3)

Was there a different one that went with 2004? (ADT4)

And I am assuming the PUBLISH command in 2005 is better than both?

"batch plot" was replaced with "publish" in 2k4..
and publish was revised in 2K5..
(publish is FAR better than batch plot ever was.. and the 2K5 version is
even better than the 2K4 version)

I'll second the above post: in R2004 and higher, you really need to use PUBLISH command. Leave BatchPlot for R2002 and lower

Can you elaborate on why Publish is better. I find that it is MUCH slower
that batchplotting or even using scripts to send our plots out to the
devices. I assume this is due in part to the lower CPU process being
assigned. Is there a good thread addressed to Batch Plotting and Publishing
that I can review?

Has anyone come up with alternatives for batchplotting in 2005?

I'll third that, we regulary print 300+ drawings for final specifications, with 'Batch Plot' it is fast, with 'Publish' it takes up to 1 min. 30 secs. just to highlight the drawings and over 3 min. after you hit the 'Select' button for them to show up in the list. How is this better? Batch plot is instant, bring it back Autodesk for those of us that prefer it.
