How Do I Change the Name a File is Saved as When Plotting DWF??

    I have a routine that plots a slug of drawings out to DWF. The routine activates certain layers too but doesn't save changes. The part I have not figured out yet is how to change the name of the DWF file name. It defaults to "Docname" plus "Model" when it plots but I want to change the name it saves as. Can anyone give me a tip on this?

    How about ThisDrawing.Plot.PlotToFile(Place new file name here, place plot confihg here). I use this line after defining a variable to be the new file name i.e. - StrFileName = Left(ThisDrawing.Name, Len(ThisDrawing.Name) - 4) and then defining another variable to be the plot config i.e. - StrPlotConfig = "DWFeView(optimize for viewing).pc3" then it's as simple as ThisDrawing.Plot.PlotToFile(StrFileName, StrPlotConfig)

    Hope this is of some help.
