Available Actions

Lists the actions that you can perform within a batch job. The actions available are based on permissions and document type.

  • Refresh - Refreshes documents on a batch queue.

  • Full Update - Updates all drawings regardless of the status of the documents, changes to the model, view styles, or graphic rules changes.

  • Print - Schedules a document to be printed from a batch queue.

Action Options

For more information on the Save As action options, see Save As Dialog Box.

In the Output Folder field, select a shared folder through its UNC path. A UNC path has the general form of \\server\share.

  • Copies – Specifies the number of copies to print.

  • Black and White – Prints a black and white drawing, if checked.

  • Orientation – Indicates the orientation of the printed output. Select Portrait or Landscape.

  • Paper Size – Displays the paper sizes supported by the selected printer.

Use 64-bit if available

Updates drawings with 64-bit processes. This option is only available for Update actions performed on composed drawings.

  • If you select Use 64-bit if available and run Update on a folder component containing composed drawings and other drawing types, the composed drawings are updated with 64-bit processes. All other drawings are updated with 32-bit processes.

  • If you select Use 64-bit if available and run Update on a composed drawing that contains raster-enabled views, Intergraph Batch Services automatically resubmits the job and updates the drawings with 32-bit processes.

Schedule

Creates the job and opens the Schedule Batch dialog box.

If you click Schedule with no actions in Actions to Queue, you receive a message, and the dialog box remains open.
