Remember folder location and preferences for publish

Is it possible to set publish to automatically find the local directory of the drawing? Setting the default location to a specific directory doesn't work for my use case as I'm creating drawings in multiple locations and always want to locate the pdf in the same folder.

The plotter path overrides the path found in the options. Both the Options Plot Path and whatever path is set in the plot dialogue options yes should go to a dummy folder then after one plot, delete the folder and the system will reset.

OMG it worked!  It is going to the last folder I published to.  🤓

I found a lisp that does this. Hope it makes things easier for ya!

 

(defun c:PPATH ()
   (command "PlotToFilePath" (getvar "DWGPREFIX"))
   (princ "\nPlot path now matches Drawing path.")
   (princ)
)
(command "PlotToFilePath" (getvar "DWGPREFIX"))
