Taken from the VBA help file

Sub Example_AutomaticPlotLog()
' This example sets the AutoCAD Options dialog box
' setting Automatically Save Plot and Publish Log to True.

Dim MyPreference As IAcadPreferencesOutput2
Set MyPreference = AcadApplication.Preferences.Output
MyPreference.AutomaticPlotLog = True

End Sub

Thanks, Larry
It was pointing to the right direction, but it was for
PlotandPublishLog.CSV, not for plot.log.
Besides, what is IAcadPreferencesOutput2? i dont have it on my computer with
Acad 2009.

I'm using ADT 2007
It appears that there is an error in the help file. It should be
"AcadPreferncesOutput"

You are correct. That is just for the .csv file. I have went to options and
turned on and off the "Plot and publish log file" and I end up with a
plot.log file no matter what the setting is. Guess I have some more
researching to do. Do you know how to stop getting the plot.log file without
VBA?

I'm with you, I don't want all these plot.log files.

Found it. Go to Options>Plot and Publish>Plot Stamp Setting>Advanced then
uncheck Create a log file.

Did a quick look through the VBA help and the object browser, and couldn't
find anything dealing with the plot stamp. So I can't help you. Sorry

Did find this in the AutoCad 2006 forum.
