BlackBox AutoPublish
Win32 and 64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
BlackBox AutoPublish for Autodesk AutoCAD allows users to AUTOPUBLISH only the drawing(s) they want. Avoid unnecessary plots of master files, models, or external references when AUTOPUBLISH is executed at Save, or Close (depending on user settings). Simply configure AUTOPUBLISH as desired, and then use the BBOXAUTOPUBLISH Command to enter a WCMATCH string, which is compared against the active drawing's folder (the DWGPREFIX), and the file naming convention of the drawing itself (the DWGNAME), in order to allow (or disallow) the built-in AUTOPUBLISH functionality accordingly. Please note that a default value of "*.*" is used on first run, which allows for all drawings (same as OOTB support), and must be changed before this plug-in will begin to disallow drawings which do not meet the entered criteria.
