Question for the autocad veterans out there about plotting

Had a senior guy at my shop last week show me how to batch plot 20 sheets in 10 minutes using the sheet set manager. I've been doing them one at a time for 3 years now. Anyone got any other hidden panel tricks that save time?

Oh wow, batch plotting that fast sounds like witchcraft honestly. I've always been a one at a time person myself and it gets the job done well enough for most things. Guess if you're doing 20 sheets every week it might matter but for the occasional set I wouldn't sweat it.

Nah, you'd be surprised. Once you get the workflow down, batch plotting saves more time than you think. Even for small jobs. I do maybe 5-10 sheets a month, still run them all at once. Same setup, same material, same settings. Tweak one, apply to all. No switching back and forth. Saves my mental energy too.
