Note: The drawing publishing process executes a Catalog Layer command when called from AfmDwgPubPublish. This catalog takes a long time to execute and is not needed in most instances. If you wish to disable the extra Catalog in the publishing process, use the following switch:
(setvar "users2" "suppressCatalog")
(afmdwgpubpublish whateverOptionsYouAreUsing)
(setvar "users2" "")
