problem plotting more than 1 copy

[jevins]

I had to erase and reload my computer this week and now when I try to print more than 1 copy, I can't. I have an HP Lj-5000, Win-2000, and AutoCAD 2000. I can print multiple copies from Word just fine. Even when I modify the printer settings under Windows and specify more than 1 copy, I only get 1 from AutoCAD. Rather strange because It worked fine last week. I'm sure it's just a setting somewhere, but I haven't found it yet!
Thanks.

:shock: :oops:
I know this is a late response but it took awhile to figure this one out.
But anyway .....

The answer is in the PC3 file.
Confiure the number count in there.
That should allow you to do multiple copies.

Hope that helps. :mrgreen:

Later.

i think that's going to fix it...

is there any way to make all my old drawings automatically use the new pc3 printer instead of my system printer that they used the last time i plotted that drawing. i guess i'm just lazy... it's only a couple of extra steps, but if there's an easier way, why not :-)

anyway...thanks for thte fix!!!

"options"
pick the Plot "tab"

Change your "USE AS DEFAULT OUTPUT DEVICE" to your new pc3 file, or even the "Use last succesfull plot settings" might be better.
