    Plotting 2 sides versus 1

    Anyboyd know if there is a way to make Autocad plot 2 sided? We have a printer that will do this, however even after changing the properties to print 2-sided(book),Autocad still seems to print 2 pages 1 sided instead of 1 page 2 sided. Ideally I want to be able to select 4 layouts and have it print front to back to make 2 pages.

    Did you find an answer on your own? I would like to know how to do this also.

    Try plotting to a dwf file from ACAD.  Then use Autodesk DWF Viewer to print those pages to your printer that does the double sided printing.

    Dan-

    After trying a handful of things, and searching through the autodesk forums, I've came to the conclusion that Autocad doesn not allow you to plot to 2 sides.

    Yeah, that would work. Right now we save everything to PDF and then print 2 sides. However, I was trying to figure out how to cut out the extra step and plot straight from ACAD.
