Disable Batch Plot Warning

dbrblg — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:23:26 GMT

Not sure whether this is an AutoCAD Electrical issue or an AutoCAD issue but when I first switch on in the morning and do a plot, I am presented with a warning about whether I want to batch plot or just print a single sheet:

I would like to disable this because if I want to do a batch plot, I'll choose batch plot!! I do click the Do not show me this again check box and I don't see this again for this session. The problem is when I start the machine the next time, I get this warning again until I click the check box.

How do you permanently disable this?

Thanks

Could it be a rights issue? This should be saved in the registry. Check with IT?
What if you run as administrator?

Not an IT issue on this occasion !!

Thanks for the suggestion...

What if you run AutoCAD as administrator?

Hi @dbrblg

This is expected behaviour, if you have one drawing in model space and another drawing in layout opened and if you initiate a plot this message pops up. I am still finding out whether it can be turned off at the registry level.

One short cut i see is, when this message pops up. You press escape and it will go direct to plot dialog.

I will keep you posted if i have any added info.

Would be good if this can be disabled. Is a little annoying at times

Can you try not to modify the following. Changing the below causes the issue.

Options > [System] tab > [Hidden Messages Settings] button on your session.

You can try reset to defaults for your AutoCAD to get the original behavior back. this would then stop you from getting those messages.

Hope it helps.

Interestingly this seems to work in reverse in that it enables a previously disabled dialog.

I checked the box and instantly got the message the next time I tried to print. This tells me that if you click the 'Don't show me this again' check box it is trying to disable this otherwise it wouldn't be in the settings....

I'll need to play around with this to see when / how / where I get this message...
