Batch Plot: DWFs & IDWs Mix (Want IDW only)

I'm working through setting up some batch plot files and have noticed that when I add idw files to the plot list, some files retain the idw and some come in as dwf.  The issue is that the dwf files in the batch plot file will not plot.

 

The goal is that everything selected as IDW remains as IDW.

 

I'm certain this has to be a simple setting, yet need help in knowing what that simple setting is. 🤔

 

In just thinking about this, could this be that we need to set up DWF recognition in our plotters and printers?

Do all files have DWFs ready at Vault for those tip versions? It looks like some may not, which then will use the regular file.

I didn't create the dwf files.  If there's a place to turn off that option (to create the dwf automatically), that would be beneficial for what's happening.  The idw files plot fine.

 

What I'm trying to understand is why some of the idw files in the Batch Plot remained as idw and the others flipped to dwf.  How can I set some something to be consistent, preferably with idw files only?

Hello @jimm_motyka_777 ,

Try unchecking this option to not use DWF for plotting:

I ran across that and questioned if that would be better unchecked.  Thank you for the early confirmation.

 

I'll try it and let you know.
