PDM Print task - print all sheets at once?

Unread post by starshiphalo2333 »

One of the task that we have in PDM is to print a drawing. Some of our drawings can be quite large, 10-12 sheets. These drawings can take 3-4 minutes to open and the Print task prints each sheet separately. It opens the drawing, prints Sheet 1, closes the drawing, opens the drawing, prints Sheet 2, closes the drawing, etc. On a 12 sheet drawing, this can take 48+ minutes to print an entire drawing. Rather than print each sheet separately, does anyone have a task that prints all sheets at once?

I am not aware of a way to trigger a standard SW task during a state change. Do you know of a way?
