AutoCAD LT - DWG to PDF no file name

[Anonymous]

I am having a problem with the DWG to PDF printer.

I am using AutoCAD LT 2013 at work for years now. I'm not sure when it changed, but sometime in the last couple weeks when I plot to PDF it doesn't give a default file name for the PDF and I have to manually type one in.

It used to output something to the lines of "[Filename]-[Sheetname].pdf" automatically. Such as Job1-Drawing2.pdf.

Now it just leaves the file name box blank. Is there a setting that I inadvertently changed somewhere to cause this? I tried reinstalling the entire program thinking that could fix it and have the same problem.

Thanks for any answers.

Is this problem present in ALL files, even if you open a file from say earlier this year and try it?
What changed a few weeks ago on your PC? What is your Windows OS?

OS is Windows 7.Pro 64-bit

Nothing changed as far as I am aware. I am the only person that uses this machine. I don't use AutoCAD every day, a couple days a week, but with winter coming my usage will pick up.

I checked out the two linked posts, the first one sounds exactly like my issue and I checked the setting in the options and default location has the correct path. Just like the original poster, it started to happen completely out of the blue. It doesn't matter if I make a new file, or open an old file.

If it is a corrupt file path, how would I go about fixing it? Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.

change the path.
close OPTIONS
Close AutoCAD.
REstart AutoCAD
put the correct path back
test it.

That seems to have done it.

Thank you!

How & where do you change path?
