Although the Publish command is available to plot several files at one time in AutoCAD, ZWCAD's batch plotting is better at managing the job of plotting on local networks. With the help of batch plotting, I can specify and plot several copies of a drawing as fast as possible in a single plot job. My only regret is that I cannot start batch plotting by simply clicking a button on the toolbar. <BR><BR>Of course, I could access batch plotting from the File menu through the Batch Plot item, or by entering the PltPlot command at the keyboard. But I would like to use it from the toolbar. I learned that I can create a toolbar button for batch plot, because ZWCAD supports customized toolbar buttons! <BR><BR>Let me show you how to create a toolbar button for batch plotting: <BR><BR>First, you need to know the name of the command. For batch plotting, it is PltPlot. (If you are unsure of a command's name, select its function from the menu, and then look for the command's name in the command line). <BR><BR>Second, add an already-existing button to a toolbar. Follow these steps: <BR><IMG src="/ewebeditorforzw/uploadfile/20091028150026658.jpg" border=0><BR><BR><BR>1. From Tools menu, choose Customize | Toolbar. <BR>2. Select the Command tab. <BR>3. From the Commands list, drag any button to any toolbar. For example, I dragged the QNew button to the Standard toolbar. <BR><BR>Finally, modify the new button to make it work with the command you want, like this: <BR><IMG src="/ewebeditorforzw/uploadfile/20091028150108823.jpg" border=0><BR><BR><BR>1. Move the cursor over the QNew button, right click, and then choose the Modify option from the shortcut menu. <BR><IMG src="/ewebeditorforzw/uploadfile/20091028144307426.jpg" border=0><BR><BR>2. In the dialog box, change the text of the Command area from "^C^C_qnew" to the following: <BR>^C^C_pltplot <BR><IMG src="/ewebeditorforzw/uploadfile/20091028144335287.jpg" border=0><BR><BR><BR>3. Click the OK button. <BR>4. To change the icon image of this button, right-click the button, and then choose Change Button Image from the shortcut menu. <BR><IMG src="/ewebeditorforzw/uploadfile/20091028144355664.jpg" border=0><BR><BR>5. Choose another image from the submenu that appears. <BR><BR>You can now click the button to start batch plotting. <BR><BR>You can repeat the steps shown above to create more custom buttons for toolbars. Here is one example I've thought of: drawing circles through tangent-tangent-tangent entity snaps. This is a command that is not easily entered at the command line. In this case, you can find the command code from the Customize dialog box: from the Tools menu, select Customize | Toolbars, and then choose the Menus tab. Find the Tan-Tan-Tan item on the tree menu, as illustrated below. <BR><BR><IMG src="/ewebeditorforzw/uploadfile/20091028144510897.jpg" border=0><BR><BR>ZWCAD has toolbar buttons for most of the features that I used frequently. But it also supports customization of toolbars, something that I like very much. </P> </div> <div style='line-height:30px;margin-top:10px;background:#F8F8F8;border:solid 1px #CCCCCC;'> <div style='text-align:left;padding-left:10px;'> Last: <a href='/cad-software-support/cad-tips&tricks/200993025949 PM9299.html' title='Tech Tip: Adding Raster Printers to ZWCAD 2009i'>Tech Tip: Adding Raster Printers to ZWCAD 2009i</a> </div></DIV> <div style='line-height:30px;margin-top:10px;background:#F8F8F8;border:solid 1px #CCCCCC;'> <div style='text-align:left;padding-left:10px;'> Next: <a href='/cad-software-support/cad-tips&tricks/2009121520225 PM6442.html' title='ZWCAD 2010 Beta Works With Windows 7'>ZWCAD 2010 Beta Works With Windows 7</a> </div></div> </div> <ul style="height:10px"> <li class="Bottom_1">&nbsp;</li> <li class="Bottom_2" style="width:689px;">&nbsp;</li> <li class="Bottom_3">&nbsp;</li> </ul> </div> <!--End List_1--> </div> <!--End Left--> <!--Right--> <div id="mainRight"> <!--Column--> <div id="rightComm"> <div class="rightTitle"> <div id="LinkTitle"><a href="/cad-software-support.html"><strong>SERVICE & SUPPORT</strong></a></div> </div> <div class="rightList_1"> <a href="/cad-software-support/cad-demo.html">ZWCAD Demo</a> </div> <div class="rightList_1"> <a href="/cad-software-support/cad-documentation.html">Documentation</a> </div> <div class="rightList_1"> <a href="/cad-software-support/license-registration.html">License and Registration</a> </div> <div class="rightList_1"> <a href="/cad-software-support/cad-tips&tricks.html">Technical Tips</a> </div> <div class="rightList_1"> <a href="http://www.zwcad.org/forum/">ZWCAD Forum</a> </div> <div class="rightList_1"> <a href="/cad-software-support/cad-faqs.html">FAQs</a> </div> <div class="rightList_1"> <a href="/SupportRequest.asp">Support Request</a> </div> </div> <!--End Column--> <div id="rightCon"> <div><img src="/images/index_85.jpg" width="224" height="44" /></div> <div style="background:url(images/click.gif);width:224px;height:32px;"> <script language="javascript" src="http://float2006.tq.cn/static_card.js?ltype=100&name=&uin=8214445&utf8=1&onlinepic=http://www.zwcad.org/images/click.gif&offlinepic=http://www.zwcad.org/images/click.gif&where=escape(document.referrer)"> </script> </div> </div> <div id="rightForum"> <div> <a href="http://www.zwcad.org/forum/" target="_blank"> <img src="/images/Company_55.gif" border="0" /> </a> </div> </div> <div class="rightLine_1">&nbsp;</div> <div class="rightConList_1"> <a href="mailto:sales@zwcad.com" style="color:#666666">sales@zwcad.com</a> </div> <div style="background-color:#f2f2f2;line-height:1px;"> <div class="rightLine_2">&nbsp;</div> </div> <div class="rightConList_2"> 86-20-38259726 </div> <div class="rightLine_2">&nbsp;</div> <form name="EmailForm" method="Post" action="EmailAction.asp" target="_blank" onSubmit="return EmailCheck(this)"> <div id="rightMail"> <div class="mailTitle"><a href="/news/newsletter.html" style="color:#000;">ZWCAD Newsletter Subscribe >></a></div> <ul> <li class="mailText"> <input type="text" id="Email" name="Email" align="absbottom" value="Your Email" style="color:#666666;" onfocus="if(this.value=='Your Email'){this.value='';this.style.color='#000000'}" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='Your Email';this.style.color='#666666'}" class="mail" /> </li> <li class="mailSubmit"><input type="image" src="/images/mail_10.gif" /></li> </ul> </div> </form> </div> <!--End Right--> </div> <!--End Main--> <!--Footer--> <div id="Bottom"> <div class="bottomLine"></div> <div id="bottomText"> <ul> <li class="bottomCont_1"></li> <li class="bottomCont_2"> <div class="contLeft"> &copy; 2010 ZWCAD Software Co., Ltd.
