Issue: 

When using Smart Batch Plot in ZWCAD to batch export to PDF files, how to define the file names?

Solution:

  1. Execute SMARTPLOT/ZWPLOT command, or click Smart Batch Plot in the ribbon menu, to open the ZWCAD Smart Batch Plot dialog box.
  2. In the File generation settings, you can define the Prefix of batch plot file names.
    Click Variable to open the Insert Smart Variable Tag dialog box.

    There are two ways to define the prefix:
    1. Specify specific attributes for block.
      Use the attribute value of the block as the prefix of the plot file name.
      Click OK, select an attribute block in the drawing area, and open the Attributes in Block dialog box. Select an attribute and click OK to open the Specify Default Attribute for Block dialog box, specify the block name and attribute tag.
    2. Specify the text for frame position.
      Use the text in the frame as the prefix of the plot file name.
      Click OK, specify two points in the drawing area to pick the text object in the frame.

Note: This function is available in ZWCAD 2022 and higher versions.
