Has the “Print Multiple Layouts” moved, is there a method change, is it missing/bug?
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Make sure that you don’t have “Selected Objects Only” selected in the options below. When “Selected Objects Only” is active, many features aren’t available.
I just added an on screen message that now shows when this option is active to SR11.
Ahh
With that I found what was happening.
Print dialog starting up with Selected only (blank screen as nothing was selected)
Turn that off and I had a visible print but the option for multi page is not available.
If you Cancel out of the dialog window it just goes back to The previous setting only on the next attempt, and you are now in a loop.
You have to Close it, then reopen the print window the multi page option to be available.
Any chance that the multi print option can be unselectable as to its availability relative to selected objects option being check.
Rather that disappearing and having to reinitiate the print window?
Just noted you suggestion of the screen message
I’ll take another look at this. It may be better that we just don’t save the Selected Objects Only persistent state the next time the dialog opens. This way it doesn’t get unnoticed or misconfigured for a future session and will fix scenario where options are missing. I’ll see if I can get this into 8.11.

I tried this in the past and had a pretty vocal set of users tell me how bad this idea is.
ok, we’ll mull this over and see what we can come up with then.
Only Selected Objects will no longer hide the multi page controls. I’ve just issued the change and it should show up in 8.12.
That would work, less of a mystery of where did it go.
Thanks
