BatchPrint Key-ins

BatchPrint has a minimal key-in interface intended to provide basic control over job sets: opening, saving, and printing them, adding design files to them, and assigning specifications to them. The key-in interface provides no means for managing specifications.

Key-in	Effect
BATCHPLT NEW	Clears the design file list in preparation for creation of a new job set file.
BATCHPLT OPEN [jobset_filename]	Loads a job set file if a filename is specified. Otherwise, opens the Open Job Set File dialog box.
BATCHPLT PRINT	Opens the Print Batch dialog box in preparation for printing the current job set.
BATCHPLT SAVE	Opens the Save Job Set File dialog box.
BATCHPLT SAVEAS [jobset_filename]	Saves the current job set to a file if a filename is specified. Otherwise, opens the Save Job Set File dialog box.
BATCHPLT ADDDGN [design_filename]	Adds a design file to the current job set if a filename is specified. Otherwise, opens the Select Design Files to Add dialog box.
BATCHPLT ADDACTIVEDGN	Adds the active design file to the current job set.
BATCHPLT ADDMODEL <"design_file”><“model_name”>[“description”]	Adds individual models to the current job set. Note that the double quotes are required.
BATCHPLT SELECTSPEC [specType=specName]	Assigns a specification to the current job set if an assignment string is specified. Valid specTypes are Printer, PlotArea, Layout, and Display. specName is the name of any existing specification of that type. The specification name should not be enclosed in quotation marks, even if it contains spaces. If an assignment string is not specified, this key-in opens a Select Specification dialog box.
BATCHPLT EXIT	Closes the BatchPrint dialog boxes and unloads the BatchPrint utility.
