plotter information box

plotter information box

plotter information box

(OP)
I am still using R13.  (Company is behind the times)  When I plot, I used to have a box
that would pop up and give me options. ie...paper size, orientation, plot window, etc.
For some reason that box no longer comes up.  All of the information is now done through the command line.  I would like to know how to turn the box back on because it's easier than going through the command line.  I'm sure this process is covered in the manual but the powers at be seem to think it is importand to have all software and related materials at coorporate headquarters.  700 miles away.  Nobody there is competent enough to understand what I'm looking for.  Can anyone here help me?

Thanks

Set the variable CMDDIA from 0 to 1
Cheers

RE: plotter information box

Another variable that affects dialog boxes is filedia - if set to zero if will take everything thru the command line. It may not affect the plot dialog box but's it's useful to know for other things.
