Omit path from plot file name

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:24:15 GMT

We can't use the queue manager in our plotter because AutoCAD appends the full path onto the front of plot file names, and the display in the plotter queue doesn't show enough characters to let us see anything but the drive letter and first couple of folder names. I want to tell AutoCAD to omit the path from plot file names, so the name starts with A101, and we can manipulate the plot queue in the plotter. Can this be done?

Perfect, thanks Gwhite. Hopefully this is a system setting, not a drawing setting. Either way, it's just what I needed.

you're welcome and, luckily, it is saved in the registry
