Autocad 2004 won't remember paper size when plotting

    Hi, I have a new machine and 2004 was just installed on it.
    Windows Xp Professional
    3.4 ghz
    2 gig ram

    When I plot, the paper size always reverts back to the 8.5" x 11" paper
    size. It will remember the plotter and ctb file I want to use, but not the
    paper size. It will even revert back tothe default 8.5" x 11" size if I
    return to the plotter manager from a plot preview without plotting.
    I have the "save changes to layout" box checked.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks Chris

    I have the same problem.
    I'm fairly sure that its picking up the default paper size from the .pc3
    file.
    In the OPTIONS dialogue you can check the "use last successful plot
    settings" box, and it well do exactly that. Its only a good idea if you
    nearly always use the sane plot settings, otherwise it becomes an exercise
    in frustration.

    Change the system variable PAPERUPDATE.
