Combines published sheets with equal output configurations into single multi-page plot job.

Type:

Boolean
Saved in:

Registry
Default value:

Off
Possible values:

Off (0): Do not collate publish sheets.

On (1): Collate publish sheets.

Note:
  • When off, the sheet set is processed in multiple steps (one sheet at a time) to generate a PLT file for each sheet. When plotting, the sheet plotting sequence can be interrupted by other plot jobs.
  • When on, the entire sheet set is processed in a single step, generating one multi-sheet PLT file. When plotting, the sheet plotting sequence cannot be interrupted by other plot jobs.
  • A plot driver that supports the multi-sheet plotting or printing option is needed for publishing sheets in a single step.
