Otto,
We have done the following for our solution:
We setup a windows printer for a PDF direct print capable printer (very common now). The job packet is first printed to the 400 queue which sends to the windows printer and then the cad drawing, in pdf format, is FTPd (from a windows file server) directly to a printer file going to the same 400 queue. Both documents print on the same printer and no collating necessary and is very fast. It is all done in a simple CL. The key is the PDF direct print capable printer. We use Aficio/Ricoh (HP didn't work that well on direct PDF printing).

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Printing Drawing.
This is an OLD conversation but. "Printing CAD Drawing when a MO
Prints"
We are having problems with the software we use "Traction Software"
We print CAD drawings or PDFs attached to the item rev file, which are
in the IFS, when a MO prints.
They MOs and the drawing do print of different printers.
The software prints a cover sheet with the MO number then prints the
drawing. We send the job of printing to a separate server which then
prints to a designated printer on the network.
This did work at one time but I feel we need to look for another
solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.
