Publish Not Firing BeginPlot or EndPlot events consistently

[cctbailey]

I am trying to add information about drawings plotted to a plot log file for accounting. It works fine with the "Plot" command, however the Publish command is inconsistent with firing the "BeginPlot" or "EndPlot" events. For all layouts that are automatically added to the list of drawing sheets in the Publish command (the ones in the open drawing), the "BeginPlot" and "EndPlot" events do not fire. However, if I add sheets to the list, then both the "BeginPlot" and "EndPlot" events fire for each added drawing (still not for any drawing that is in the default list). It seems like the drawing has to be opened for the events to fire.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Christy

I was involved in a thread similar to this some time ago. There were one or
two other responders, from what I remember, and all had similar experiences.
Bottom line was that it was not reliable. (That was pre-2007....could be
different with that.)
