vanilla AutoCAD r2005 SP1, WinXP Pro SP2 Create a PC3 file from one of your system printers, and set it to "plot to file" ... Setup a new layout in an existing drawing using that PC3 file. Now, choose the "plot" command and then "OK" ... it should bring up the dialog where you choose the name and location to save your plot... choose a name/location and let it create the PLT file. NOW, you should be back in the layout ... Choose the "preview" command and then right click your mouse and choose "plot" . Did your system bypass the "plot to file" option and send the print directly to the physical printer that you created the PC3 file from? If not, that's what mine does. It's driving me crazy that if I want to plot to file, i MUST hit the plot command instead of the preview command. Is this a bug? Is this by design? Anyone able to re-create this? Help please? TIA Trey
