    We have a number of pc3 files we have created for various jobs using various custom paper sizes, etc. We recently had to change servers and the sever names have changed and now all our pc3 files all come up invalid . Is there a way to edit the pc3 files to reflect the new server names used in the printer names? or do we have to go thru and create all new pc3 files?
    Obviously this affect all our saved layouts etc.
    Thanks

    If you are using a fairly recent version of AutoCAD (2004 or 2005) you
    should be seeing a dialog that allows you to patch an "invalid" PC3 file
    with a different printer name. This feature was added specifically to
    address this issue. If you are using an earlier version of AutoCAD, then
    you'll have to recreate your PC3 files

    various custom paper sizes, etc. We recently had to change servers and the
    sever names have changed and now all our pc3 files all come up invalid . Is
    there a way to edit the pc3 files to reflect the new server names used in
    the printer names? or do we have to go thru and create all new pc3 files?
