    part numbers, how many digits do you have?

    PLOT LOGS

    TWLINCOLN, that seemed to do the trick, no plot logs yet this morning. i saw that box while i was searching around trying to turn them off but since i did not have a plot log active, the entire ADVANCED window was greyed-out, i assumed that it was not the cause of the plot logs. thanks again
