This issue only occurs when we attempt to use an in-house vba plot routine to plot views from model space. The offending drawings always have a invalid plotter config assigned to the model layout. If we first use the plot button and acknowledge the invalid plotter configuration and chose a valid plotter and either save (on page setup) or plot, our vba routine then works fine. If we don't then AutoCAD errors out as follows ... --------------------------- AutoCAD Error-abort --------------------------- Error handler re-entered. Exiting now. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- The code snippet is as follows: where sPlotterCfg is a valid ConfigName .. ThisDrawing.ActiveSpace = acModelSpace Set aLayout = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.Layout aLayout.ConfigName = sPlotterCfg '<- Error Occurs Here aLayout.RefreshPlotDeviceInfo How can we clear or reset the model layout plotconfig?
