    I can currently publish sheet sets to the plotter or to dwf....
    is there a way to create a plot file using sheet sets?

    Thanks,
    jojo

    There's a round about way to go about it that works great, you have to
    create a new .pc3 for your plotter and select the "Plot to File"
    option. Then you have to use this plotter config whenever you want to
    plot to file.

    To do this, in Autocad 2006 type "plottermanager" at the command line
    to bring up an explorer window listing all of your plotter .pc3
    configs.

    Copy the config of the plotter you want to use whenever you want to
    plot to file.

    Double click on the new config, and bring up the Plotter Configuration
    Editor for it.

    Click the "Ports" tab at the top.

    Select the "Plot to File" option under the "Ports" tab.

    Click "OK" to save the configuration.
    you normally do, except select this new plotter configuration as the
    plotter to use... should save everything to file. In the publish
    command, under publish options, there's also a place to select the file
    path to save the .plt files too.

    Hope this works
