This must be a bug

    In R2005 I have my Options > Plot and Publish > Plot to file folder set to
    D:\ (second hard drive)

    In the past I used a lisp routine to automatically plot to file and place my
    file in the specified folder in the 'Start in' section of my shortcut to
    AutoCAD. My REMEMBERFOLDERS = 0 so the plot file used to happily fall in
    there. In R2005 they added this Plot to file folder in the options, which
    works ok with the normal dialog plotting but has broken my lisp routine.
    Sometimes it ends up in the job folder of the job I plotted before this plot
    and some times in plotters folder and sometimes in My Documents. The only
    time it worked was when I first set the foder to D:\ in the OPTIONS. That
    first plot worked ok. But never after that.

    This is a bug I am sure. My only option is to hardwire the folder in the
    LISP routine. However on our laptops we have no D:\ drive, so we specify a
    different folder there. I don't want to have two routines going at the same
    time that are virtually identical.

    Has anyone else had this problem and is Autodesk aware of it?
