Published Layouts Save Automatically to Folder

Anonymous — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 15:03:20 GMT

Hi all,

I am publishing a couple of layouts on AutoCad 2018 to which I want to have saved in a specific folder. The previous versions of AutoCad I had used to always ask me to which folder I would like to save my sheets. However, after I re-installed AutoCad, it does not ask me where I want the files saved anymore. It basically saves the PDF's automatically to where the "..." under "Publish Options Information" (see below) is set up to.

Any ideas to how I could force AutoCad to ask me where I would like the files saved again?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Usually you can specify where to save your output from Publish Options in the dialog . but it's disabled because your Publish to : Plotter named in page setup , I suggest to change it to PDF . Now you can browse your new Location output folder from the enabled and active Publish Options . also you can from Options > Plot and Publish > Default location for plot to file make your new location .
