RTEXT Plot Stamp: Wrong Drawing Path |
|
|
We have a 2005 user whose DIESEL RTEXT Plot Stamp string appears normally on screen, and in the plot preview, but when the drawing plots, it changes the drawing path in the stamp.
For example, it should be:
J:\ProjectName\DrawingName.dwg
It shows up as:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\PBPlot_nnnn\DrawingName.dwg, where username is his logon name, and nnnn is a 4-digit number.
We're running Win2kpro w/ Service Paks, on a Win??Server Network.
Any ideas?

You are getting what you are asking for with this Diesel my friend: why not
explore those variable names in HELP in AutoCAD (the names are in quotes"")
and see what is being called.
Try to remove what you don't need:
$(getvar, "dwgprefix")$(getvar, "dwgname")
Also make sure the path of the file being accessed is where you think it is,
it may not be as the name reflects: AutoCAD only reports the facts, it does
not make these things up on it's own.

Well, Dean...
I just went over to his workstation, launched ACAD2005, opened the drawing off of the network and plotted it.
On screen, the RTEXT stamp reflects the correct (Network) location of the drawing file.
When I PLOT Preview it, the RTEXT stamp reflects the correct (Network) location of the file.
When I retrieve the plot, it has the wrong path to the file printed on it. The printed RTEXT stamp does not match the RTEXT stamp on screen or in the preview.

We figured it out...
The user had his BACKGROUNDPLOT variable set to 3 instead of 2.
Thanks, Dean.

I'll have to try that one out: thanks for the follow up and answer, it's
appreciated.
