dwg to pdf

I can not seem to get ACE2007 to patch plot to pfd files the following plot results are as follows

File: G:\1400-1499\1449 sandstone prison\acad\1449-101.dwg
Category name:
Page setup:
Device name: DWG To PDF.pc3 - plotted to file
Plot file path: _N.pdf
Paper size: ANSI expand A (8.50 x 11.00 Inches)


No errors reported also no _n.pdf file created either.

Note: it works fine for manual plotting to my documents folder.

Hi Jeff,
This is a real stretch, but try this and see if you get different results.
Make a renamed copy of your "DWG To PDF.pc3" file, change the name to
something like "DWG To PDFDWF.pc3" and see what it does. I'm suspicious that
AcadE may want to see a "DWF" substring in the name, even if you're not
dumping out to DWF format.
Nate.

Hi Jeff & Nate,

I'm having the same problem
If you click plot to file, the script stops. The following is displayed on the prompt:

Command: _.-PLOT
Detailed plot configuration? [Yes/No] : _N

Enter a layout name or [?] : 'wd_chk4_layoutnam_oem "Model"
"Model"

Enter a page setup name <>:
Enter an output device name or [?] : C:\Documents and
Settings\gerald\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical
2007\R17.0\enu\Plotters\DWG To PDF.pc3

Enter file name <>: _YES
Save changes to page setup [Yes/No]? 'wd_prnt_plt2fnam
"D:/temp/1.plt"

Yes or No, please.
Save changes to page setup [Yes/No]? *Cancel*
