2005 Plot -Missing Something?

2005 Plot -Missing Something?

2005 Plot -Missing Something?

(OP)
WinXP  R2005 SP 0

Dang!  A new plot dialog box to learn.  So much for time efficiency!  Seems that on our new R2005s, you start with a PageSetup style, then set up the centering xy offset, page size, etc, and plot.  Next plot of same drawing, the settings are not there.  For awhile, the settings would stay IFF you proceeded to then plot.  But now, plotting with the selected settings does not save settings.  We are having to start from scratch with each plot (Of the same, identical drawing).  Is this a filepath problem?
Help will be much appreciated!

RE: 2005 Plot -Missing Something?

You should set your page setups to already have all of that information set, such as page size, offsets, etc.  The whole purpose of the page setup is that all you have to do is pick which page setup you want, and then plot.  No need to adjust any settings.

There is a checkbox in options to "reuse last succesful plot settings" which may be why it worked before.

RE: 2005 Plot -Missing Something?

There is also a box in the plot dialog for "save to layout".  Do it, then save the drawing.  It's the same as right-click the layout or model tab, go for page setup, do it and save the drawing.

R2005 had a beautiful command called publish.  If your layouts have plot settings, you can "plot" many drawings at once, save the list and do it again anytime.
