Hello: I'd like to see the very useful PUBLISH utility updated with a small modification... add a "Plot to File" option in the "Publish To" section of the PUBLISH dialog box. Currently, the "Publish To" options are as follows: (1) Plotter named in page setup (2) DWF File When using Option 1, the PageSetup .pc3 file "Port Setting" must be set to "Plot to File" to get Publish to plot to file. Experience has shown that users will use the "Plot to File" port setting when publishing a large sheet set (for spooling later), and use a "network printer" port setting to plot directly to a network printer for a small sheet set. This forces the user to either (a) maintain two separate .pc3 files/ Page Setups or (b) manually edit the .pc3 file "Port Setting" as required. This is extra work. Adding a "Plot to File" override to the Publish utility would save this step. Thanks, Fred Schreck KMD Architects San Francisco
