Title: Change Plot to File location
Post by: Guest on November 21, 2006, 09:41:11 AM

I would like to change the default PLOT TO FILE location (on the Plot & Publish tab of the Options dialog box), but I don't know what, if any, the variable name is.  Also, I would like to ensure that the PUBLISHING check box is checked.

Anyone know how to change this programmatically??!?

Example:

Code: [Select]

(vla-put-DefaultPlotToFilePath (vla-get-Output (vla-get-Preferences (vlax-get-acad-object))) "c:\\")

Are you talking about "background processing"?

This is the BACKGROUNDPLOT system variable.

Nice.

Thanks!  (so many sysvars.... I forgot about the bgplot variable).

You can also use:

(setenv "PlotToFilePath" "C:/")
