2005 plot bug?

hello group,

i am not sure if anybody else is experiencing this problem...
on the command line plot i.e. -plot, at the plot scale prompt

Enter plot scale (Plotted Inches=Drawing Units) or [Fit] <1=96>:

if i enter a return to accept the default 1=96, it is not respecting
it, instead it is using the Fit. i am able to duplicate the problem
consistently.

thanks
mark

 

decipher = default ? ...

 

Hi Mark,

Are you on AutoCAD 2004 or 2005?

it works fine for 2004
but not fine for 2005
i had to modify my code for A2k5 to force the value each time
instead of taking the default, all the others seem to be
using the default values OK.

thanks

 

default=no errors when typing
default=fast
default=verify if all is going well
default=

 

Hi Mark,

I did a little research and the behavior did change between 2004 and 2005.
The underlying problem is actually in 2004 and was fixed in 2005. In 2004
when you set the plot scale in -plot it is getting applied to the page setup
for the current layout even if you didn't apply changes at the end of
the -plot command.

Hope it helps,

interesting...
fortunately the workaroud was simple
thanks

 

If this is an "underlying problem" in 2004 will there be a fix?
