    I had a button to plot 11 x 17, I lost it during a computer upgrade.

    I want to use a macro to plot using my configuration (not
    customers),( -plot; ect..) the drawing comes from a customer with a plotter
    configuration that I don't have. How do I get my macro to add the plotter
    config that I what?

    my macro:

    -plot;yes;\\server-1HP5S1;letter;I;L;N;E;F;C;Y;MONOCHROME.CTB;Y;Y;Y;N;N;N;Y;
    ;

    I get stopped at \\server-1HP5S1 I can't get this to plug into the command.
    When it stops I can type it in and it will finish, but it won't run in the
    macro.

    Thanks. :)

    Change:
    -plot;yes;\\server-

    To:
    -plot;yes;server-

    The \\ act as pause in a menu macro.
    You may also have to change the .pg3 file.

    Les,
    ;; Original Menu Macro..
    ;-plot;yes;\\server-1HP5S1;letter;I;L;N;E;F;C;Y;MONOCHROME.CTB;Y;Y ;Y;N;N;N;Y;;

    Make up a Lisp file called: plot_to_server-1HP5S1.lsp
    with the following single line in it. Place it in a support folder.

    (command "_-plot" "Y" "\\\\server-1HP5S1" "letter" "I" "L" "N" "E" "F" "C" "Y" "MONOCHROME.CTB" "Y" "Y" "" "Y" "N" "N" "N" "Y" "")

    ; Loading the .lsp should repeat the command.

    For the Menu Macro:
    (load "plot_to_server-1HP5S1")
