Topic: PC3 ...

[Andrea]

Hi,

I have configured AutoCAD to take PC3 file located to a specific folder in search path directory and it work well,

But how can i remove the existing printer..?
 ex:

HP laserjet 4MV
\\server\printer
FORMAT1.PC3

?

Maybe remove the original search path...?

Are you trying to get rid of a *printer* or a PC3 file?

tools, options, plotting tab. for 2k2 and 2k4 it is in the lower left hand corner. Select Hide system plotters.

for 2k5 and maybe 2k6, plot and publish tab, right side about 2/3rd down
there is Hide system printers.

probably would be a variable somwhere that it could be set....
need to look into that as that would be helpful...

Hi

(getenv "HideSystemPrinters") ;Returns current value

(setenv "HideSystemPrinters" "1") ;Hide Windows System Printers

Please note that Environment Variables as case sensitive ie. UPPERlower case is important, therefore for the above to work, type as shown.

Have a good one, Mike

I tried this in Acad2000 and it let me set it, but it didn't do anything.

Hi

It should work from AutoCAD 2000 upwards....

Works in AutoCAD 2002, 2004 & 2005 (sorry they are the only ones I can test on at the moment).

Have a good one, Mike

I checked the Environment Variables PDF from the AutoCAD website and it's supposed to work but mine still show up...oh well.
