Hello joseamans and welcome to the Autodesk Community!
For the plot command, try something like this
(Command "-plot"
"yes" ; Detailed plot configuration? [Yes/No] <No>:
"" ; Enter a layout name or [?] <Model>:
"DWG TO PDF.PC3" ; Enter an output device name or [?] <None>:
"ARCH D (36.00 x 24.00 Inches)" ; Enter paper size or [?] <ISO A4 (210.00 x 297.00 MM)>:
"Inches" ; Enter paper units [Inches/Millimeters] <Millimeters>:
"Landscape" ; Enter drawing orientation [Portrait/Landscape] <Portrait>:
"yes" ; Plot upside down? [Yes/No] <No>:
"Extents" ; Enter plot area [Display/Extents/Limits/View/Window] <Display>:
"1:1" ; Enter plot scale (Plotted Millimeters=Drawing Units) or [Fit] <Fit>:
".113427,.113168" ; Enter plot offset (x,y) or [Center] <11.00,11.00>:
"yes" ; Plot with plot styles? [Yes/No] <Yes>:
"OMS.ctb" ; Enter plot style table name or [?] (enter . for none) <>:
"yes" ; Plot with lineweights? [Yes/No] <Yes>:
"no" ; Enter shade plot setting [As displayed/Wireframe/Hidden/Visual styles/Rendered] <As displayed>:
(strcat (getvar 'DWGPREFIX) (substr (setq dwg (getvar 'DWGNAME)) 1 (- (strlen dwg) 4)) ".pdf")
"no" ; Save changes to page setup [Yes/No]? <N>
"Yes" ; Proceed with plot [Yes/No] <Y>:
)
Hope this helps,

What I was trying to ask, was not the place where you did save the file, but the way you did save the file.
The 'demo.lsp' is a functional code, if you select the file and saveas to the folder where your other LISP files reside, without opening the file, copy and paste in other file, the code will not error...

joseamans,
in the demo.lsp the command "-plot" is similar to this code, the only difference is, it will generate the '.pdf' file in the same folder where the '.dwg' is and with the '.dwg' file name, without user intervention...
Could you please attach the code that is giving error.

Thanks again Henrique for trying to help me out. Again I'm new to all this and trying to do my best.
I did a save as on your demo.lsp and placed it in the folder with my other lsp files and ran through my normal process for loading my other lsp file.
When I select the demo.lsp I get the error I mentioned above.
Attached is the full code I was given to start with. Other things are going on but I'm focused on the last section with the -plot command. This is the section I've been trying to modify so there does not need to be user intervention.
Thanks again Henrique. Your support is great.
