Change the "Printer Configuration Search Path"

I need to change the follow hard code in Autocad Configuration:
my "Printer Configuration Search Path" is:
C:\Program Files\Autodad 2002\Plotters

I need to change to a network drive:
T:\Stand\Plotters

I will like to changed via Lisp to a 60 PC's..

Somebody have any idea how?

Thank you for your healp!!!

In my opionion you are much better off having a login script that copies the
files from the network location to the local drive. Pc3 and Pmp files are
operating system and AutoCAD version dependant plus this way the users
cannot mess up the ones on the network. And if for some reason they do need
to modify the plotter settings if they screw up the local version fo the
files they just need to log out and back in.

To do it with lisp you would have to step through all the profiles in
AutoCAD and change it for each one. The easiest way would be to use
VisualLisp to do it. If I wasn't ill I might be able to remember enough
VLisp to do it but not today.

Chang it on 1 computer,
stop AutoCAD,
Start AuotCAD again.
Tools-> Options: Profiles tab.
Export the profile into an ARG file.
Change the shortcut on every computer
c:\Progra.....\acad.exe -P profile.arg

and everything is set !

 

Profiles is the best way to go.

The easiest way is to allow the users to copy the shortcut from a network
location onto their machines. They can also copy the arg file onto their
local drive or leave it on the network and import it from there.

Is there a way to set the printer configuration search path with lisp? (as
well as the plot style search path? and others?). I have a routine that
will set all the file support paths, but it uses the ACADENV [ (setenv
"ACAD" (strcat (getenv "ACAD") ";S:\\APPS\\ACAD2005\\BIN")) ] and I haven't
been able to figure out how to acces the othe support paths.

If I can't get that to work (second choice Is there a way to import and
set current a cad profile using Lisp?

Thanks.
