Batch Plotting Problem

I have just installed the new edition of AutoCAD Electrical and I can not get the batch plot to work of my projects. The script is getting broken. Here is the script:

mmand: _.-PLOT
Detailed plot configuration? [Yes/No] : _Y

Enter a layout name or [?] : 'wd_chk4_layoutnam_oem "Model"
"Model"
Enter an output device name or [?] : C:\Documents and
Settings\temarcha\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical
2005\R16.1\enu\Plotters\ENG0_LJ_4V.pc3
Enter paper size or [?] : ?

Available media sizes.
"Maximum 11.7 x17.7"
"Double Japan Postcard Rotated"
"Envelope Monarch"
"Envelope C5"
"Envelope DL"
"Envelope #10"
"Note"
"11x17"
"B5 (JIS)"
"B4 (JIS)"
"A4 Small"
"A4"
"A3"
"Executive"
"Legal"
"Letter Small"
"Letter"

Enter paper size or [?] : Legal
Enter paper units [Inches/Millimeters] :
Enter drawing orientation [Portrait/Landscape] : Landscape
Plot upside down? [Yes/No] :
Enter plot area [Display/Extents/Limits/View/Window] : _E
Enter plot scale (Plotted Inches=Drawing Units) or [Fit] : _F
Enter plot offset (x,y) or [Center] <0.00,0.00>: 1.50

Command: _Y
Unknown command "Y". Press F1 for help.

The script is stopping at the next step "Plot with plot styles?" I know that it must be something simple, but this is driving me nuts. I had no problem with the last version.

it looks like the issue here is the value entered for the 'Enter plot offset (x,y) or [Center] <0.00,0.00>: ' prompt. This prompt is looking for either an x,y offset, or 'C' for center. It looks like the value entered was '1.5'. A decimal used instead of a comma possibly. I entered 1.5 and got the same results as below. When I entered 1,5 it worked fine giving me an offset of 1 unit in the x, and 5 units in the y direction.

Thanks for the help, that was the problem. I actually had to set the offset to 1.5,0 and it worked like a champ. The IT people here had just upgraded me to a new computer and I was not able to check the old settings that I had in AE 2004.

Hi,
I am having a similar problem with WD batch print, except I am getting an Unknown Command F.
I wasn't too clear on where you were able to edit your printing settings.
How do I fix this?
