    I have a VB app that does a ton of thing which includes plotting to various
    plotters & printers. What I would also like it to do is plot a .plt file to
    the DWFWriter. Below is the code on how I plot to a plotter.

    What do I need to change to plot to the DWFWriter?
    How to I specify the path were the DWF file gets saved?

    Private Sub mnuPlotDWF_Click()
    Dim objFile As File, PlotterName As String, PLTPath as String, PLTName
    as String
    PlotterName = "\\DC2\KIP8000"
    PLTpath = UCase(File1.Path)
    PLTName = List3.List(List3.ListIndex)
    Set objFile = FSO.GetFile(UCase(PLTpath & "\" & PLTName))
    objFile.Copy PlotterName
    End Sub

    I tried the obvious of swaping PlotterName = "\\DC2\KIP8000" to PlotterName
    = "AutoDesk DWF Writer"


    Any Ideas??

    Since the Autodesk DWF Writer shows up like any other printer, you simply
    reference it like any other.
