Don't Overwrite Plot File Automatically

Don't Overwrite Plot File Automatically

Don't Overwrite Plot File Automatically

(OP)
When you are plotting to file, and are plotting the same layout, the dialogue box will usually come up saying "Do you wish to overwrite this file?" and there is a box that you can check to not warn again before overwriting the plot file.  Well somehow this box got checked, and the program will not warn me when it is going to overwrite a file.  I have been through a lot of the system variables, and cannot seem to find a way to uncheck this option once it is checked.  Any ideas?

RE: Don't Overwrite Plot File Automatically

Not sure what version of CAD you've got but I expect it'll be the same:

Go to your Tools > Options dialogue box, then pick the 'System' Tab and look at the area marked 'General Options' (top right).  Tick the box 'Show all warning messages'. Hope fully that will do the trick.

Regards

Marc
