Number of Copies

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by %&\)#*!]~:`[@$^?, Aug 12, 2004.

  1. Is there a way of determining the number of copies sent to a printer through
    VB/VBA when plot initialized from the plot dialog (not from VB/VBA code).
    Thanks

    Have you looked at the NumberOfCopies property of the Plot Object ?

    Is there a way of determining the number of copies sent to a printer
    through
    VB/VBA when plot initialized from the plot dialog (not from VB/VBA
    code).
    Thanks

    What version of AutoCAD - its been broken or braindead (take your pick) for
    a long time.
    I don't think it is even stored in the registry.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R16.0\ACAD-201:409\Profiles\<<Un
    named Profile>>\Previous plot settings\Model

    You can't count on AutoCAD's timing for pushing information back to the
    registry.

    The whole plot accounting thing works better if you check the save settings
    check box.

    Be sure to refresh
    Dim oConf As AcadPlotConfiguration
    oConf.RefreshPlotDeviceInfo

    In the end, I had to popup the confirmation screen that allowed the user to
    enter the number of copies.
