Don't think it matters. Open one up in notepad and see what new world you uncover. You might find something you like or you might find the variable to turn this feature off within options in autocad. Who knows.

Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.

Maybe I need to discuss this with the IT guy  :roll:

You should be able to turn it off under the Plot Stamp->Advanced sub-menu in the plot dialog box.

That should do it Cadaver. Huh, I must've cornfused the plot.log with logfilename. Anyway, they're similar and if anybody's interested in keeping that one off, check options.

Save the plot stamp to a new name and the button should become available.
