PDF PLOTTING DESTINATION

[Matt_Shanly]

Hi,

Hoping some can help me with either a plot setting, command or lisp to direct plotted PDFs to the same location as the dwg is currently saved.

Working in a design consultancy means a variation of projects being worked on throughout each day, therefore wasting time scrolling through many projects to put the PDFs in the correct place. when the could be published right next to the saved dwg.

Does a setting, command or lisp exist which copies the save path as DWG and applies it to a plot?

Thanks,

Matt

You can use an add-on that does this.
You can choose any option to save the file and choose the desired file name for the PDF.
It prints not only the model, but all the Layouts
This is -Revers

You can also try AutoCAD's Automatic Publish feature so that each time you run the SAVE command it'll automatically create the PDFs for you. Also this feature has Settings and one of them designates location for the PDF file to be saved in the same location as the Drawing folder:

Not the solution to the query I'm asking. Thanks for trying though.
