Switching a bad plot device to a good plot device.
« on: April 26, 2024, 11:20:22 AM »
Is there a way with a lisp routine to change the current defuncted plot device named "defuncted.pc3" to DWG to PDF.pc3.

I keep getting this warning when plotting.

DEFUNCTED.pc3: This plotter configuration cannot be used for one of these reasons:
the driver cannot be found, the device cannot be found, or the driver has a problem.
The None plot device has been substituted
.


Thanks,
Cy

We used Pop menu that has Mutiple printers set up including PDF so worked every time as inside choice was a lisp Plot routine. We did not use Publish etc.

There is plenty of plot lisp examples out there. Can check is it Acad or Bricscad as pdf has different names.

Code: [Select]
    (COMMAND "-PLOT"  "Y"  "" "Plot To PDF"
       "Iso full bleed A3 (420.00 x 297.00 MM)" "m" "LANDSCAPE"  "N"   "W"  "-6,-6" "807,560" "1=2"  "C"
       "y" "Acad.ctb" "Y" "n" "n" "n" pdfName "N" "y"
    )
