Batch Plot Plugin User Interface

Hopefully the user interface is self explanatory.

Here are a few items of interest. The Plot This checkbox determines which layouts to send to the printer.

The [Plot/Print] button is the same as the File>Plot/Print menu command and sends all selected layouts to their respective printers.

The [UP] and [Down] buttons move the selected layout up or down in the list thereby reordering their output order.

If you want to delete a layout. Select the layout in the list and click the minus [-] button in the navigation window in the lower lefthand corner of the grid

Clicking the [Preview] button will preview the selected layout in the Preview Pane regardless of whether it is selected to in the Plot This column
