Doesn't work in AutoCAD

In Excel you can select multiple worksheets, then click print and print them all. Doesn't work in AutoCAD. Only the visible paperspace tab prints.

In Windows you can right-click on an excel file, click print, and print the file you clicked on. This works, even if you have a different Excel file already open. Doesn't work in AutoCAD. AutoCAD just re-prints the drawing that's already open.

For the record: Apparently you can't buy Excel, you have to buy Office. The price ranges from $119.99 to $499.99, depending which version you get.

You can upgrade AutoCAD for $1995 or buy it for $3995.

You *can* select multiple paperspaces and publish them. But then you have to remember to publish rather than print.
