    Since R2000 AutoCAD has used
    "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD\Plotters" to store the PC3 files.
    I would put a shortcut there that would point to a network share where
    common PC3 files could be shared.

    I did the same setup for CTB files also.

    Now with 2005, the plot configurations are stored in the users profile.

    C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD
    2005\R16.1\enu\Plotters

    How can i make it default to the pre-2005 behavior?
    I want Plot Styles | Plotters | Tool Palettes all to reference a standard
    location regardless of who logs onto a machine. or if a new user logs onto a
    machine.

  3. Put a shortcut in:

    C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD
    2005\R16.1\enu\Plotters

    that point to your network path
