Default name and location for printed file

Is there a way to tell AutoCAD LT to automatically use original filename and filepath for printing?

 

Example: Print file as pdf

 

File location and name: C:\drawing.dwg

 

Output: C:\drawing.pdf

 

This would save time.

Hi @MrMuscl3,

 

If you check in OPTIONS, you will see a tab called Plot and Publish.  In that window is a place where you can set your default Plot to File location.

I have ACAD LT 2023 and it shows on the top of the screen only the file open. Is there a way to show the whole file path? See attachment.File name.JPG
