Shawn's AutoCAD Publisher

Users of AutoCAD are familiar with the "publish" command used to plot multiple drawings to PDF.
The purpose of my program is to simplify publishing by doing the publishing with the AutoCAD Core Console (accoreconsole.exe), add automatic date stamps to the output file names, and allowing the user to publish multiple sets in series or in parallel.

The console is significantly faster than using regular AutoCAD, and publishing through the console doesn't tie up AutoCAD. One can publish drawings in the background while still using AutoCAD.

The ability to queue publishing jobs also means one doesn't need to babysit the computer while publishing. Queue up 20 sets, hit Publish, and walk away from the computer. All of the PDF files will be waiting for you when you come back.

The ability to publish multiple jobs in parallel can dramatically speed up the publishing process, but a solid state hard drive is strongly recommended.
