Plot style path

  1. Using Adt 3.3 on Win2000

    Is there a way of adding a second path under "Print support file path"

    "Plot Style search path" in order to have cad look in two seperate folders
    for
    it's plot styles.

    thanks

    I have something similar to the following in my acad.lsp:

    (setq printerstylesheetdir (strcat "\\\\SERVER\\STANDARDS\\Plot Styles" ";"
    (getvar "dwgprefix"))); all paths separated by a ";"
    (setenv "PrinterStyleSheetDir" printerstylesheetdir)


    "\\\\SERVER\\STANDARDS\\Plot Styles" is the folder with the write-protected
    office standard plot styles.

    (getvar "dwgprefix") allows a user to make his own plot style saved in the
    same folder as the drawing allowing any user to see the same plot style and
    thus avoid the "not found" message.

    Note that plot style files in subfolders of a specified folder will also be
    included.
